The grass is always greener. Or is it? If we meet misfortune, we wish that it was different. Yet, even when blessed with good fortune, do we not think that it may have been a little better?
This is just as applicable at work, where a sense of ‘not good enough can prevail. Yet, when we accept the fate that has befallen us, we are better inclined to understand and appreciate both the good fortune and the disappointments for what they are and adjust to improve.
Acceptance of fate does not suggest that mere performance is satisfactory. Instead, when we devote ourselves as we can and outcomes are not as desired, we should proudly reflect, be grateful, learn from and benefit.
Rather than considering acceptance as a negative, view it instead as the platform for growth and the opportunity to learn.
