Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now.Let it teach you Being.Let it teach you integrity – which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real. Let it teach you how to live and how to die, and how not to make living and dying into a problem. Eckhart Tolle
About This Quote

When we live our lives, we are constantly learning. One of the most important lessons we learn is acceptance. We can accept that things may not go our way and move on to other possibilities. We can also accept loss.

As humans, we are constantly anxious about the future and how it will unfold for us. When we accept what is, let go of what was, embrace who we are now, and let others be different than they are, then we move towards peace with the way things are. The peace comes from being one with everything that is.

It also comes from being true to ourselves and living according to our values.
