Accept the things I cannot change

I no longer believe this is a useful or worthwhile goal. Well, what do I know I can change and can’t change? I think I’ve become more accepting, generally. So I think I will close this goal, and revise it to “acceptance” – and also, some things you don’t have to accept – and should not – just because you can’t change them. I mean – there are many things that people can’t change in their own lifetime that they continue to fight against. I guess what I’m saying is – we really can’t say with any real determination what we can and cannot change – except for the past, I suppose, and even THAT is debatable.

I have been in a wonderful relationship for the past two and a half years with a guy that supports, understands and appreciates me. But, during this time I have constantly battled with accepting his past.

He was well known for sleeping with basically anything on two legs…even though he denies it. I on the other hand, only had one partner. Yes, these things happened in the past, but for the life of me I cannot get past the thought of him being with so many people. I constantly wonder whether he misses being young free and single and whether he is only in this relationship because it’s the right thing to do…according to society.

I’m so scared that he’s going to tell me that he doesn’t want to be in this relationship anymore because he’s missing out on the “action”, so much to the point that I’m so insecure about everything!

I know that the only way to move forward is to fully accept his past…but where do I start?

I want to learn how to love in a way that helps people grow, including myself. I want to forgive, and respect myself also. I want to be who I really am, and be useful in this world.

I cannot bring my ex-husband back to life. He passed away on last Sunday, and if I could will him back to life I would have, but I cannot.

i have a hard time dealing with things that i cant change..im not a control freak but i want to change things that just arent within my range …i need to learn to accept and move on

A lot has happened and probably will happen to me, I need to learn to stress about the things that I CAN do something about, and accept the things I can’t change. Like the past, just to move on from it, I can’t let it overshadow the rest of my life.

1) I cannot change my past actions. I can only change the actions I will take in the future.

2) I cannot make a person love me.

and just accept the circumstances that i know i cant make a difference in.
first and foremost high school.

life goes on….but i need to tell myself that again…
