Accepting
Being accepting is not the same as being a doormat. Being accepting means that you will acknowledge the truth and then make a plan to deal with and/or enjoy it.

If you practice the Virtue of Acceptance, then you willingly face the people, situations or ideas which you cannot control instead of denying or fighting them.
Acceptance requires you to work with what you have available right now in the whole of your body, mind and spirit. You do not worry about what you think you need; instead, you focus on the unique abilities that you do possess and find unique solutions through your gifts.
Self-Acceptance vs. Self-Improvement
These two ideas do not conflict; in fact, they complement one another. Self-acceptance is about loving yourself faults and all. Self-improvement focuses on improving your weaknesses.
It is entirely possible to love your Self and also improve any weakness you may have. The process of self-improvement must be done with love of Self - don't punish yourself for your failures. Instead, be forgiving of your Self as you work to improve.
