Strength in Acceptance

”Why am I at fault? I didn’t do anything wrong. I only did it because...” The most common reaction we make when we’re being questioned.

Accepting one’s fault is never a sign of weakness. We do not lose face in it. Rather, it exemplifies our strength and the courage to accept the opportunity to improve ourselves. When we excuse ourselves from a situation, when we try our best to find loop holes in an argument rather than possibilities, we resist growth and the chance to see the bigger picture. It’s not saying that we should blindly take what is being presented to us, but it speaks of being critical to the circumstances that constitute the truth.

What may be right for you, may not be necessarily right for me. However, experiences and agreed terms, especially in a professional environment, will guide us during those moments.

Sometimes, when people argue with our side of the story, it doesn’t mean that they do not understand us. It is because they love us that they want us to become better versions of ourselves. We are encouraged to push boundaries of what we’re used to, without disregarding our perspective, but taking it as part of the puzzle.

The next big step after our acceptance is taking action. When we take in what has been said, we are obliged to move forward, and not play the victim. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what already transpired, but more of what we do after it. Realisation is one thing, but changing our outlook and old habits is another.

Hope you’re also having a relaxing Sunday.

Stay inspired. Later days.
