accept

I accept that I only exist in this moment.

I accept that I cannot change the past

or the future.

I accept that I am imperfect,

that my ego affects my ability to hear, to see, and to understand clearly.

I accept that there is no finish line,

no one time easy answer,

no trophy at the end of this journey.

I accept my faults.

I accept that I want to be better,

and sometimes that will look like worse.

I accept that I will not always be happy,

that I will not always be grateful,

that I will not always be understanding.

I accept that life is supposed to be hard,

and suffering is meant to be a part of it.

I accept my selfishness.

I accept my limits.

I accept that there is an absolute truth,

and that I will never fully see it,

but I can approach it.

I accept my commitment to be better.

I accept my ambition to learn.

I accept my desire to love.

I accept my gifts and my blessings.

I accept my gratitude.

I accept that I will eventually die,
