Acceptance means the ability to accept whatever happens in your life. Is is good to always say yes and accept whatever that comes in your life? Well, there are the pros' and cons' in the value of acceptance. Acceptance is said to be a way for one to be patient ans accept everything as it is, the chance to redo the unwanted situation in life, the chance to be humble and generous and a way to challenge yourself.
Not everyone can accept a decision or a situation that does not fit the picture that they had in mind. Not everyone can forgive and forget, adapt to a situation; but we can surely try at it. A simple example would be when one has struggle to their limits to achieve something but in the end they do not; and so they get frustrated and tends to do something stupid in the end. We all should learn how to accept whatever God has given us as he knows best. We can't change the fact that we are born into this cruel and violent world but we have no choice but to live our life as best as we could and as much as we could.
We can't change who our parents should be just because we do not like our parents now as they are still the ones who would help us one day. We can't change who our siblings are now into much better siblings just because we quarrel everyday which never comes to an end. We can't change our fate on who our partner should be meaning who we should get married to, who our children would be and the conditions of our life. All we can do is accept.
Therefore, as to what my teacher always said, Muslim children had been nurtured since they were young on how to accept everything and never regret. They practice the terms and values of; 'Usaha' which means giving it your all to achieve what you desire, 'Tawakal' meaning living everything to God after trying your best, 'Doa' which means asking God to grant all of their wishes, 'Redha' which means accept and be happy with what happens in the future and 'Syukran' which means always be thankful to all life's gifts to you.
Remember this people,
- Usaha, Tawakal, Doa, Redha, Syukran-
