Life is about change, growth and moving forward and acceptance is a very necessary piece. It is the first step of change, growth and moving forward. However, most people practice acceptance this way: "Yup. That's it. That's me. This is how it is and there is nothing I can do about it!" whereas it should really stop at "Yup. That's it" and then go to "What can I do about it? How do I change it?". Most people never make the leap to asking questions which will help them turn things around.
