Three components of spiritual growth comprise the not-just-for-Sunday Trinity...God, grace and guts. [BFO while watching Simone Biles recently as she exhibited all three...with a few tears and a big smile.]
Stuck in the reasoning mind, we must be aware of the lurking arrogance of faux self-acceptance which is ego's cover for insecurity. When we are raised deeper into the spiritual mind, self-acceptance encompasses the acceptance of all others, most especially the one(s) to whom we are feeling resistant.
In talking to ourself about a feared outcome, we often tell God to let whatever we're fearing happen...and think this is the acceptance God needs from us. God needs neither our acceptance nor our permission, he has already set the wheels in motion for a perfect outcoming. Our mental invitation is to stop our worrying about it since the feared may just be God's perfect outcoming...thus our pearl beyond price.
To find our center, to become Oned, we need upgrade our attitude toward that which we resist...be it people, things or dogma.
Resist not evil, trust God, love and laugh.
Thank you.
