Today I'm wondering why there isn't more acceptance in this ole world. Where did people get the idea that we are in the rejection business? Is it fear that leads to the mindset of rejection...fear of rejection, so we reject first as a defensive measure?
Acceptance does not in any way diminish the acceptor. Freely I receive, freely I give.
Last night I saw a big auditorium filled with people gathered for the purpose of accepting. It was refreshing. The smell of hope was in the air.
Then later I saw an old veteran of many battles taking the time to accept a young female graduate student on the verge of entering her own world of professional challenges. His kindness and affirmation was inspiring.
Today I'm resolved to be more generous with my acceptance.
