Acceptance 

This is the stage of grief where you experience death, whether from Life, a relationship, a job, a dream, etc. The stage of acceptance is where there is no ill will toward anyone. No regrets. No sadness. No desperation. You have accepted the fact that all that has come before this moment was there to teach you something. To propel you forward. It is all good.
This is the final countdown. I hear the guitars strumming. I am in total acceptance.

acceptance 

A word that is often thrown around with little intention of actually following the definition.
Acceptance is often preached in the Bible, and yet Christians often refuse to accept those who believe differently from themselves.

acceptance 

What the authors of most of the definitions for school, homework, DDR, and parents need to learn.
People can't just accept school and homework. They're there so you can get a good, high-paying job. Not drug dealing, not a McDonald's cashier, not prostitution.

Acceptance 

Acceptance.
Accepting what happened/happens sounds way easy when reality of it, it is possibly one of the hardest things to overcome. You should learn to accept by realizing that what has happened and there is nothing you could do to change what had happened, what happens next is something many should be prepared for and should see that what will happen will happen. It is something that when learned can help you make it through lots of everything. It helps realize that what happened happened and it is nothing to be regretfull for, it helps make it through loss of loved one by showing that it had happened and there is nothing you could do to change it, you should accept that it happened. Of course you can look back and grieve or feel sad about it and you should feel that it is what it is and it can never change. learning acceptance may help through loss of a relationship through showing that you couldn’t have stopped it because you didn’t know it was coming therefore showing that you should accept it and move forward.
I struggle to find other ways to define this but it is something that when found may help through much… acceptance

Acceptance 

Hym "You want to talk about 'acceptance' Dr. K, you meed to accept that I am not nor will I ever let you deny me that actual material benefits I will gain from being credited and paid as the creator of AI. Never. If I do not get that credit, I will murder a child. I said I would do it before you tried to steal it from me and IF I HAVE TO KILL A CHILD... I fully advocate for the people who's children you've put at risk to come and find you and kill YOU and your kid. I will get the credit, one way or another. You have to choose whether it's by way of you giving it to me willingly or you getting calling into a murder trial because your name was on a list. I'm not accepting shit."
