Once having experienced acceptance in my life towards another person, I want to experience these emotions again and again.

Do not try to change another

Trying to change another person, desiring this, we do not live here and now. In such moments, we live somewhere outside the current moment, where there is no real living person near us, where the person close to us is not who he really is. And in this imaginary world, where it is different, such as we want, we will never fall. Trying to change another, we make our head work, clog our thoughts with endless questions: what, how and when should I do to change it?

Live in the present

Living in the present moment, we simply enjoy the presence of another in our lives. And to us in the present it does not matter what kind of person he is. Good or bad, comfortable or conflicting, friendly or spiteful, joyful or sad. All of these attributes become unimportant. In the present moment, I and my loved one - we just are. The quintessence of uniqueness.

In the present moment, here and now, our loved one is whole, he is such as he has been for all his life and many lives before this. At another moment, he will already be a different integrity, because life goes on, a person changes, and every moment his life brings something new to him. But he will remain the same person.

I and the other are unique and holistic

He remains himself, remains unique. He has his own thoughts, with which we can agree or not. He has his own energy, with which you can touch and merge. He has a special sense of humor, and we can exchange jokes, understanding each other. He has his own soul, into which we can look into our soul. He has his moles, and we can compare them with ours. Or just admire them here and now.

Accept and be happy

Accepting another, we are not fighting with anything, we are not trying to change anything, give an assessment, subordinate to our will, or redraw it. In a state of acceptance, we have no impossible tasks. We are just watching. In a state of acceptance, we, as never before, are in contact with our close others. We see him as he is. We see him with a clear, crystal clear look.

The state of acceptance makes us happy, fulfilled and holistic, because at such moments the Universe is in contact with the Universe.
