Acceptance

A farmer had a beautiful horse that he loved very much.
One day the horse ran away and the farmer had no idea about its whereabouts.
Some of his neighbors in the evening gathered to sympathize with him over his bad luck.
He said, "It is perfect and fine."

The next morning the horse came back with other six sturdy wild horses,
and the neighbors spoke highly of his good fortune.
He said, "It is perfect and fine."

Incidentally, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the untamed horses,
was thrown, and broke his hand.
As usual the neighbors flocked to express sympathy for the bad luck.
The farmer in his normal tone said, "It is perfect and fine."

A few days later conscription officials came to the village
to recruit young men to the army.
Due to his disability the farmer's son was discarded.
Again, the neighbors approached the farmer
to say how fortunate everything turned out.
He said, "It is perfect and fine."

Whatever happens - Accept it.
It is very difficult to accept certain events that happen in our lives.
But how soon I am able to bounce back when something happens, is important.
If you want to relax, acceptance is the way.
Acceptance is the gateway to happiness.
Accepting life, as it reveals itself is the only antidote to problems in our lives.
Resistance is persistence and anything that we resist persists in life.
Sometimes rejection comes before acceptance and it makes us aware of acceptance.
