You may have heard people talk about or read books about accepting what is. And it is true that many of us have the tendency to constantly argue with the moment. Our rejection of our own lives distracts us from being present here and now. We forget to have gratitude for our lives and the people in them as they are. We forget to acknowledge that we have created our own lives.
The concept of accepting what is, however, also can be used to disempower. "Oh, you'll get used to it. Just accept that this is how the world is. That's just the way it is. Some things will never change" Accepting what is can be a denial of your creative and generative capacity to create dynamic change.
Have you been using the spiritual credo of "accept what is" as the excuse for not changing your life and the world? Is your life now enough for you? Is the direction this planet is heading working for you? What would it be like to be grateful for what is and still ask the question of how it could be better? All great change on this planet has taken place from someone willing to ask a question. How does it get any better than this? What else is possible?
We tend to forget to ask questions. There is magic and potency in questions. Questions empower. When you ask a question there are infinite possibilities available to you. Take a fixed point of view and you've just limited what the universe can offer you.
What would you like to have in your life that you haven't allowed yourself to have?
What would you like to create in your life that you haven't allowed yourself to create?
What if you could be, do, have, generate, and create anything you choose? What would you change right now?
What if you are way more potent then you think you are?
Perhaps then instead of accepting what is we can begin to create what is.
