[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709325, member: 18958"] This is so enlightened CB. I think more than acceptance it is the recognition that you control your reality to a large extent by your own thoughts. We can let ourselves be as if controlled by others, by reacting to what they say or do, or we can recognize that we control how we think, or have the potential to do so. You have decided to do the latter. To claim your power to define yourself. And to define as you choose the meaning of the interactions in which you are involved. I applaud you. When I went back to work for a few months last year, I was unable to do this completely. While I did not react to what was happening, I found myself dreading so much of every day. I could not take control of my inner life while I was at work. I have fled toxic environments most of my life. How much better and more powerful to decide to keep your own internal environment clean, and non-toxic by deciding to take responsibility for your thoughts. So wonderful CB. And proof of the pudding: your intimate relationships are going better. Great that your daughter is completing the training and about to be placed in a job in a field that she loves. This is wonderful. I remember when you could not get her to do anything! And so great that you will not collaborate/cooperate/consent with them to sabotage your best interests. A retirement pension and benefits are something that few people have in this day and age. How powerful and self-affirming of you to act to preserve this. [/QUOTE]
