Accepting and Loving

I ran across this quote and thought that I would share it with you:

"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart." -Marcus Aurelius

So often the challenges in our lives can eclipse and darken the things that really matter. I think that acceptance of life's limitations can be so difficult. An unhealthy nonacceptance of life's difficulties can often cause us to forget the importance of loving those dearest to us. In difficult times it is good to remember that acceptance and love are things that must be fully embraced at a heart level.
