- Description: Let's chuck all previous notions of what ‘acceptance’ is in the bin. It's all a *lot* easier than you think. 😙

Here’s a radical Sunday thought for you to play with.

What if that difficult or unpleasant situation you’ve been told you ‘should’ (🚩) try and come to terms with… has actually *already* been accepted by who you really are?

Just by dint of the very fact that you’re experiencing it?

🤔

Imagine you’d just made a cup of coffee with the last drop of milk in the house and someone comes along and says… *“I need that milk – can’t you drink your coffee black today, so I can use it?”*

Or you’d just made an omelette and you want to get the eggs back out of it.

It can’t be done, can it?

🍳

Well, what if it’s the same with your experience?

Once it’s there, it’s a done deal. This is the creation of the mind-body; what you get.

There’s no going back.

Who you really are (the energy of life itself, or ‘Mind’ in [3 Principles](https://3pgc.org/faq?ref=gilespcroft.com) terminology; perhaps ‘God’ if you’re off to church today) has painted a picture of reality (from Thought) onto the canvas of awareness (Consciousness).

There it is. This situation. Accepted into your Being.

Who you really are has already let it in. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be experiencing it.

😯

As I say, one to play with. Does it cause even a *tickle* of recognition, deep within you?

Mind’s don’t do well with radical ideas like this, so if you find it trying to figure this out, or reason its way through it, or against it, just back off a little… go back to the tickle.

Just be present to your experience, whatever form it takes.

Because, as Eckhart Tolle points out,

> **“Full attention *is* full acceptance.”**

💟
