Acceptance: The Key to Happiness

Life doesn’t always go the way we want, but happiness comes when we learn to accept what is, rather than fight it. This is especially true with the recent election. Donald Trump is now president. Whether you supported him or not, he’s in office, and the best thing we can do is hope he succeeds because when he does, we all do.

My daughter, when she was just five years old, said something so simple and wise: “You get what you get, and you don’t get upset.” That’s it. That’s the secret. Acceptance doesn’t mean you have to like everything that happens; it means you don’t let what’s out of your control ruin your peace.

We can’t change the past, but we can choose how we move forward. By letting go of resistance and focusing on what we can do, we open the door to growth, optimism, and happiness. So, let’s embrace what’s in front of us, hope for the best, and work toward a better future together. Happiness is a choice, and it starts with acceptance.
