Radical Acceptance
by Tara Brach
Gregory Hays Translation
From The Book
For so many of us, feelings of deficiency are right around the corner. It doesn’t take much—just hearing of someone else’s accomplishments, being criticized, getting into an argument, making a mistake at work—to make us feel that we are not okay.
When we relax about imperfection, we no longer lose our life moments in the pursuit of being different and in the fear of what is wrong.
When we put down ideas of what life should be like, we are free to wholeheartedly say yes to our life as it is.
