How To Accept That Happiness Means “Acceptance”

The acceptance of ‘it is what it is’ is the exact opposite of the need to control the outcome of everything.

In modern jargon ‘it is what it is’ means that we accept things for the way they really are. Acceptance of this concept puts an end to your resistance to life. It puts an end to the struggle and the bad times. Even self-dependent individuals may not always like every circumstance that occurs, but they know and accept that it is what it is. For example, we may not always like the way we said something, but we said it the way we said it. Acceptance that it is what it is gives us inner happiness. Very simply, happiness is the acceptance of what is.

Since everything is just what it is, why not accept it? This is not to suggest that acceptance means liking or even condoning our circumstances. It simply means to accept things the way they are so that we can do something about changing them if we desire to do so.

Practice repetitively with deliberate intention accepting that it is what it is. How do you feel when you do? If you are truly accepting that whatever it is, is what it is, you will notice that any stress you were experiencing begins to diminish. Your whole body will begin to relax.

What you resist persists. Most of us don’t understand that what we resist not only persists, but it gets bigger. In other words the more you resist ‘it is what it is,’ the more it persists and the larger it becomes. This concept has to do with the universal law of attraction. You actually attract more of what you are resisting because it becomes your dominant thought. Remember, thinking makes it so! We all always move in the direction of our dominant thought and create more of it for ourselves, whether negative or positive. Resistance actually slows down your progress in getting what you really want.
