Acceptance
For those of us who are trying to change the world – or even a small part of the world – acceptance is one of our biggest challenges. Wisdom lies in knowing what we can change and what we should accept. And knowing the difference is one of the secrets for avoiding undue stress and having enough energy to keep on fighting the good fight. This comes close to the Buddhist practice of non-attachment. Rather than waste energy worrying about things beyond our control (including nebulous dystopian futures), let’s spend our precious time, energy and resources on taking specific, local actions.
