Acceptance to me is...

Acceptance:
When my attention is focused on a future I have imagined that will make me happy; I tend to blur my present experience in haste to arrive at a future in almost all cases (based on my past experience) quite different than imagined.

In cultivating a curiosity and love for the vividness of each present moment and experience; I also  arrive at a future reality quite different than one I could imagine.

Believing that I will be OK with this future reality is acceptance.

This acceptance is the fruit of my experiences.
