"Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices"
- Paul Tournier
About this Quote
This quote by Paul Tournier speaks to the concept of accepting one's life as it is, without quiting or running away from the struggles that feature it. Acceptance does not mean resignation, but rather an understanding that life is not best which we must accept the challenges that feature it, such as heredity, suffering, psychological complexes, and oppressions. It is essential to acknowledge that these battles belong to life and that we should accept them in order to progress. Approval does not suggest quiting, but rather welcoming the difficulties that included life and finding ways to overcome them. It is a way of discovering peace and contentment in life, in spite of the battles that feature it.
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"
