Acceptance is the key to find forgiveness for the painful past. But, in its process of removing the pain, does it also kill the motivation inside us to be better, to do better to avoid similar situations in the future?
Experiencing a painful situation triggers all kinds of emotional responses inside us. It may be sadness, depression, anger, guilt, fear, hate or a mix of all of them. Accepting the past for what it was and moving on to concentrate on the present brings peace and tranquility in our life, but at the same time, I personally feel that the fire that the pain brings in us should not be extinguished with acceptance. That fire, if channeled properly can motivate us to grow spiritually, physically and mentally.
If you have experienced a recent event in your life that has brought with it an immense amount of pain, be thankful for the experience and use the energy inside you to grow yourself instead of trying to make sense of the past. Accept the past, but don't forget it. Use it to propel yourself further in life.
