Why would you not accept everything, or at least everything that is anything? Nobody here is preaching stagnation, the acceptance that what is is what always will be. It is acceptance of what is right now that is essential, because you can't get away from it. Now is now, and what is now is, whether you fight it or not. It's acceptance of truth.
There is a huge difference between "I am poor and unhappy right now" and "I have always been and will always be poor and unhappy." The former is the truth of the moment, the latter is mere speculation of the future based on the past. One acceptance, one resignation. You can't lose the battle you don't fight, and you can't win a battle against the present.
