Deepak Chopra Acceptance Quotations

I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

When you struggle against this moment, you're actually struggling against the entire universe. Instead, you can make the decision that today you will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. This means that your acceptance of this moment is total and complete. You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment. This is important to understand. You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

If you can accept the flow of life and give in to it, you will be accepting what is real. Only when you accept what is real can you live with it in peace and happiness. The alternative is a struggle that will never end because it is a struggle with the unreal, with a mirage of life instead of life itself.

You break free when you feel neither beneath anyone nor superior to anyone, when you shed the need to control other people, when you create space for others to be who they are and for your real self to be what it is.

The day must come when trust will be as natural to your nature as distrust now seems to be.

What is, is simply what is. Allow it and rejoice in it.

Our collective future depends on opening channels of compassion, acceptance, and understanding of others.

Being free brings a lightness, a carefree surrender to all that is happening around you, and, above all, an acceptance of reality.

Total self acceptance is empowering. It means allowing others to see you as they choose, without being offended.
