Equation of Acceptance

you are enough

In meditation, I saw this clarity about ‘acceptance’: acceptance = acceptance of being here on Earth + acceptance of purpose + (accepting all others + being accepted) I asked “how?” for each part of the equation: acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being Light + accepting myself acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being Light + loving myself acceptance = being here in the ‘now’ moment + being […] Read more »
