Acceptance of Our Circumstance
Life is tough, and that's a fact. There are too many problems to deal with, and often things go wrong unexpectedly. As human beings, we only have two options, to accept or reject the circumstances/events regardless of whether they are good or bad. Choosing to fight against the circumstances only worsens the situation. Join us in today's episode, where we discuss an exercise on how to accept our situations/events that have happened contrary to our hopes, dreams or plans.
