Acceptance and Adaptation Are Necessary! In Life and Business
To succeed in life, you must accept yourself and adapt yourself. This is a requirement for both success in business and in life. Believing in yourself in also important, but you must have a valid starting point to build success upon. That is, why I feel Acceptance and Adaptation are Necessary!
According to Wikipedia, acceptance is:
“Acceptance in human psychology is
a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a
process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation)
without attempting to change it, protest. The concept is close in
meaning to 'acquiescence', derived from the Latin 'acquiēscere' (to
find rest in).”
According to Dictionary.com, adaptation
is:
“1.the act of adapting.2.the state of being adapted; adjustment.
3.something produced by adapting:an adaptation of a play for television.
4.Biology.
- any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any ofits parts that results from natural selection and by which theorganism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in itsenvironment.
- a form or structure modified to fit a changed environment.
- the ability of a species to survive in a particular ecological niche,especially because of alterations of form or behavior brought aboutthrough natural selection.”
So why I am I sharing this with you?
If you have read personal development
books and articles, you may believe that with proper thought you can
change anything. Thinking realistically, we know that this is not
true.
Please give my video a look as well!
An example? I have brown eyes.
The only
way to change them would be to install new eyes which sounds really
painful even if possible.
I can use colored contact lenses but my
eyes are STILL brown.
So, suppose I really feel having blue
eyes is an absolute requirement. What then? First, I have to ACCEPT
that my eyes are brown. Then, I will have to ADAPT them in order for
them to be blue.
Thinking alone will not “turn” my
eyes from brown to blue. I have to look at reality and accept it,
then, look at ways to adapt circumstances to suit my desires.
Is this a silly example? To me, yes. If
I were to wear contacts to change my appearance, I'd choose Vampire
Eyes-simply because I've got a weird sense of humor and I'd bet I'd
get some strange looks.
Still, I think the idea I'm trying to
impart is clear. We DO need a positive frame of mind. We DO need to
believe in ourselves. But, we must ACCEPT reality, then, ADAPT
reality to enable some changes. But, hey, that is still using our
minds, isn't it?
I hope this makes sense to you and is
of some use to you. Please share your comments with me! If you think
this may be of use to someone else, please share it!
Thanks for reading my post and enjoy
your day!
