Acceptance

A ccept life as it unfolds 
C omplaining only leaves things worse
C oncur with agreeable suggestions
E ndure the adverse currents of life
P ostpone judgement till things seen in better light
T ake people as they are
A llow room for criticism and correction
N ever underrate your personal worth
C ontinue being comfortable in your own skin
E njoy life with all its follies and foibles
