"Acceptance" Beyond our BraveHeart SisterHood

Posted Jan 19, 2010 12:57 PM
Hi Brave Heart Sisters,
So...How is your journey of "Personal Growth" evolving? With Ease or are you experiencing "growing pains"? (I embrace my growing pains and Trust they will lead me to Exactly where I am supposed to be?:| ) Once again, I have had some good talks with supportive BH Sisters about "challenges aka opportunities" in my life and about Change and Acceptance! We are all growing, changing....becoming more Empowered, Enlightened, Inspired...Our Energy is Evolving! With Gratitude I accept, embrace and revel in my new Energy and Higher Vibration....it's here...I TRUST in "Clarity after Commitment"...so I trust in ???? well, I simply Trust and with that comes EASE! OK, now here is the puzzle...We accept Ourselves and each other....but do we truly "Accept" our spouses, significant others, partners, as they are swept along in OUR journey of Personal Growth? The sentiment I have heard a lot recently...."I am changing and am fearful he/she may not change with me!" What will the outcome be if they do not Grow with me?....My thoughts (very left brain oriented but with right brain over tones) They do not need to change...if they Accept your Growth and Evolution,,,,why wouldn't you Accept them regardless? People in our lives do not need to Change or Grow in order to be Accepted...Acceptance is Acceptance even if someone just stays the same! Wow, I may have confused myself...any Comments BH Sisters? Ask yourself...How accepting are you of those OUTSIDE the Community?
Thanks again for Accepting me just the way I am!:-x

AJ,
Lots of thoughts in that blog....you must be growing!!! For myself, as I am learning and becoming someone who loves themselves unconditionally I give myself little "tests" throughout he day. My goal is to be smiling and happy through most of it, and to learn to "put myself in that person's moccasins" before I act or utter a sound. I have been having daily chats with "My Creator", and thanking him for my day, allowing me to be strong, courageous, compassionate, and always learning and allowing the lessons that are bestowed constantly to me, sometimes through very subtle scenarios. I have become "Aware" and it allows me to come to a place much sooner where I can say, "if that were me, how would I want to be treated?" "Is this really going to make a significant impact to them and me, today, tomorrow, a yr from now, 5yrs from now?" I have really learned to let things go, be at ease, and let my life flow. My life has been miraculous ever since and I am excited about every day. How fabulous it is to be truly happy. It is my greatest wish for all my BH Sisters!!!

Lisa, my BH Sister,

We are all Amazing works in progress!

I am discovering that we need to Accept OUR SELVES over and over again....!

I TRUST ONE DAY the Self Acceptance will STICK!!!
Hi Anne,

I totally get 'wow, I have confused myself ... as this topic is something that I am finding especially challenging.

I think the Acceptance has to first be of yourself ... that somehow when we stop looking for acceptance outside of ourselves and truly begin to love ourselves unconditionally, acceptance of others, just the way they are, follows naturally.

This is definitely something that I am Evolving into - it is not happening overnight - however, through daily practice and commitment to myself, allowing the gifts of thought-provoking conversation, discussion, videos and blog posts like these, and taking action in the inspired moment, the pieces are starting to 'click' into place little by little. This 'clicking' happens in a way that feels, as you described, to happen with EASE.

Thank you so much for sharing your observations and feelings on this, Anne. I, too, embrace my growing pains and trust that they will lead me to exactly where I am supposed to be.

with Love and Acceptance, ;)

When I first started with Ellie (4-5 years ago?), and especially after I did my first Release event (different name then) I went through a similar series of emotions.
Specifically speaking it was my boyfriend at the time. We were together a total of 11 years, the last 3 of which including my evolution. What I came to find is that although I did accept him as he was, I could no longer accept him as my partner. Luckily, we weren't married, I have no children so I was more open to explore the ramifications of that.
Ultimately, I ended up breaking up with him. It wasn't a matter of "you aren't on board with me so I have to let you go"...but it was an acceptance of him being him as he was, and me letting go of the idea I had to change him or change myself to be with him.
There were a lot of things/people I released as I evolved. I don't see it as a bad thing, just a divergence of our lives' paths.
Great question, interesting thoughts!
Whisperer, what's up:), girl? While i think i do know where you're coming from I really don't see BHW as an "outside" community. I'm sure there are members even that aren't so-called "active" participants. Unless i'm wrong BHW strikes me as the kind of growth that is extension rather than leave behind. The Braveheart community is one among many. Neighborhood, workplace, family :-x, All inclusive. I got you though. Smile, E
p.s. You're very thoughtful and plus when you wrote that you may have confused yourself, that was funny!
