Out with Forgiveness —
In with Acceptance!
Wait, wait you say, isn’t forgiveness GOOD? Well, yes, if you are sitting with resentment, anger, or judgment of any kind, then forgiving is good.
But we don’t want to be just GOOD, we want to be rEvolutionary!*
Revolutionary Agreements #5-8 all reflect ACCEPTANCE.
Listen with my heart.
Respect our differences.
Resolve conflicts directly.
Honor our choices.
I’ve noticed that when I practice acceptance, I have less need to practice forgiveness. And that’s ok by me. How about you?
With love and gratitude,
“And here is the best part: the more you practice Acceptance, the more you feel the rewards of living a positive life: greater peace of mind, stronger sense of stability, and improved — even dramatically improved — relationships with the people around you.” p. 80, Revolutionary Agreements
* From Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, tenth edition:
Revolutionary: Bringing about a major or fundamental change of paradigm, or in the way of thinking about or visualizing something
Evolution: A process of gradual and relatively peaceful social, political and economic advance. Growth. Unfolding.
