"Acceptance fuels change."

Hey gentle reader, did you know acceptance fuels change?
Some of us suffer from painful relationships, dead-end jobs, with survival mentalities. The truth is gentle reader, that we aren't going anywhere because denial or blame keeps us stuck in misery. This kind of life is awful.
Think for a moment about your own situation. Are you using denial to survive  dissatisfying consequences? Accepting and taking responsibility for mistakes and choices is not easy. it takes courage. But you must accept responsibility if you want things to change.
When you accept the reality of your situation, you take the first essential step to a new and better life. This is reason  to celebrate.
Has we approached the new year, let's try to accept my reality and take responsibility for my choices.
