Acceptance is when you accept the truth without any reasons or without questioning someone or anyone. Acceptance is a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition without attempting to change it or protest it. But acceptance will vary in different situation.
He or she is not the one
People are come and go in our lives. Sometimes we met someone that we thought he is the one but unluckily he is not. It is said you met but not destined to each other. We thought he was the person we could be with for the rest of our lives but we were wrong. In that case we need to accept that. Maybe he is tied to the other one and maybe you are destine to a different one. Yes you fall in love to each other but there are things that not really for us.
Same case to what happened to me before. I fall in love to the man who already have someone else. He confessed to me that he love me too but we both know we cant be together. Eventhough we have the same feelings we both accept that we cant. At first it hurts but time goes by the feelings was gone. We both decided to be friends only. We both accept that we are not the one. Accept the reality not to involve to other party, to another love life, just focus on your own happiness.
We are not rich
I always heard that to my mom before if I want something that is a little bit expensive. She always said "anak hindi tayo makakabili nun kase hindi tayo mayaman" or we cant buy that because we are not rich. When we was a kid we cant understand what it means, all we know is to get that thing. But when we grow up we understand that. Buy with your own capability, if you are not able to buy that then accept it. Or we need to work hard to get that thing. Lets say if you want to buy a car, but you cant afford it to buy now. Just accept it but dont stop to pursue that you will get it. Continue to work hard to achieve your dreams. Sooner or later you will have it. And that is one kind of acceptance.
When you lose in one game or competition
In every game or competition, there is one winner and one loser. Admit it or not that most of us think that there is sabotage happened if we lose specially if the game score is very closed. They say "ay may dayaan naganap", yes sometimes it happens but not all the time. Maybe the winner is much better than us. Yes we are good but they are better. We need to accept that. If you fight there is a tendency to win or lose. You are lucky if you win but better luck next time if you lose. We need to practice more and do our best so that next time we will be the winner. Accept that and change that kind of thinking. Be a sportmanship.
When you did'nt get your promotion
Same as the game, you did your best but your best is not enough....wow its a song lyrics.....HAHAHA... There is a situation that three employees are candidate for the promotion and you are one of them. You did all your efforts and hardwork to be promoted. In your mind you are the best and for sure you will be choosen one. But when the day of announcement you are not the choosen one. It is hurt and not good in the feelings but dont blame yourself or the others on that. Maybe it is not the right time for you or maybe there is better position or opportunity that is waiting for you. Remember when the door was close, there is a window to be open.
Realization
There are more situations that we need an acceptance. Our life have an ups and downs. We did all mistakes and bad decision in life, but accept it without any regrets. Sometimes it happens to teach us a lesson and to improve ourselves to be a better person. We are not perfect and we have a tendency to do wrong and we need to accept that. Use that mistakes as a weapon so that next time we will win in any battle of our life.

Yeah, we really need to accept the reality and the facts about our self, and whats happening and experiencing right now in our life all of that is still a blessings to us. Me, I Accept my life that I born as a simple and not rich. Before, yes, I admit that i have a mindset that i blame my parents for being poor and can't able to provide the things that I want and needs. However, after growing up I learned to accept the fact and reality. I realize that is better to live in a poor and simple life because I can learn to work hard to get whatever I want than being a rich that can't experience the true working before we experience the true success.
