True self empowerment happens only if we can accept everything that shows up.

People tend to confuse themselves with the word 'acceptance' and the word 'agree.' Acceptance does not mean agreement. Acceptance simply means not quarreling with whatever that is showing up. Acceptance means embracing whatever is showing up. You may agree or disagree with it, but you still embrace as it as yours. As your making. Only then can you change it, even if you don't agree with it. You cannot change something that is not yours, that has not been embraced by you as yours. You need to first embrace it; then only can you work on it, to change it.

When you quarrel with something that shows up with which you don't agree with, you lose valuable energy, which can be channeled elsewhere simply by accepting.
