If you determine that you\u2019re facing a problem that&#8217;s beyond your control, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accept-what-you-cant-change\/\">accept what you can&#8217;t change<\/a>. Things happen: Shots don\u2019t go in the basket, stocks nosedive, or shipments get lost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Stoicism, acceptance does not come from the place of surrender. Rather, it comes from the place of strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stoics refer to accepting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/control-what-you-can-control\/\">what you can\u2019t control<\/a> and moving on as the art of acquiescence. Acquiescence not passive\u2014it requires strength and will to resist ruminating over how things could have been and to accept what you can&#8217;t change. You don\u2019t have to like something to accept it\u2014just face facts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By accepting constraints as a fact of life, you can use them to become a better person. <\/strong>It\u2019s natural to want to fight whatever is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/whats-holding-you-back\/\">holding you back<\/a>, but accepting your constraints helps you by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pushing you to develop skills you wouldn\u2019t have otherwise developed.<\/li><li>Guiding you in a new direction, like traffic signals do.<\/li><li>Teaching you lessons you wouldn\u2019t have otherwise learned.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All constraints and obstacles contain benefits, but you have to accept the tradeoffs or costs. You don\u2019t get what you wanted, but you get something else. Unfortunately, instead of appreciating what we\u2019re getting, we often complain about what we missed out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of Acceptance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas Jefferson had political ambitions, but he didn\u2019t like performing publicly, and he was a terrible speaker. He accepted this, and achieved political influence in a different and, ultimately, more effective way\u2014through writing: he authored the Declaration of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">Independence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Thomas Edison and Helen Keller accepted physical limitations and accomplished great things. Edison was nearly deaf and Keller was blind and deaf, but like Jefferson, they found power in developing different abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Embrace Whatever Happens<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you accept what you can&#8217;t change, the next step is to embrace whatever happens, good or bad. Setbacks and disasters in life are inevitable\u2014you have to face up to them, so you might as well do it with<em> joie de vivre.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loving whatever happens goes beyond acceptance\u2014it\u2019s telling yourself, \u201cI&#8217;m excited about this\u201d versus \u201cI\u2019m OK with it.\u201d<strong> <\/strong>It isn\u2019t belatedly acknowledging that things worked out for the best\u2014it\u2019s believing this from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding and embracing the good within the bad is your source of energy. Embody the Stoics\u2019 maxim: cheerfulness in all situations, good or bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does Stoicism teach about acceptance?
