Accepting â Agreeing
How often do we hear someone say in an argument “I just can’t accept what you’re saying”. What they really mean is “I don’t agree with you” and when we make this distinction arguments and stress simply melt away. A phrase we commonly hear is “let’s agree to disagree”. That’s along the right lines, but we can do a lot better with greater understanding. Underpinning a deeper understanding is awareness that we cannot change what has already happened. When we step back and think clearly, to not accept what has already happened is absurd.

Michael is an impressive man, even though he is still a teenager. He was sharing his vision to a discussion group of equally impressive peers and in that moment we could see he is destined to make a big mark on the world.
