Acceptance

A deep understanding of the importance of not resisting the events that unfold in the external manifestation. This understanding includes the knowledge that everything that happens is perfect and has a purpose of love. When you accept, you are contributing to your own spiritual development. Accepting is different from agreeing, and also from resigning yourself.
