I'm sending a shout-out to my friend Sus for sparking the energy behind this week's whisper. I was about to give up (tee hee)! Our driveway conversation went toward the difference between acceptance and giving up. We can give up on relationships, ideas, businesses, and on other areas of life, but is that a form of acceptance?
In one relationship experience, I had to dig deep to find what I believed was accepting that person unconditionally. My complete acceptance was met with some criticism and judgments like "You don't seem to care anymore." That was not true at all, yet their perception could not be persuaded to think otherwise.
Giving up is defined as 'admitting defeat,' while acceptance is considered 'favorable reception.' Maybe, on some level, finding acceptance is giving up our personal agenda, and that might tend to stream the energy of the two together. Okay, I give up on trying to figure this out without the acceptance of a whisper on the subject:
Giving up indicates an unwillingness to devote more energy to a person, project, investment or idea. The light of truth may shine through in a moment of discernment, creating a shift in thinking or behavior patterns. The human energy usually stops flowing when a person gives up in defeat or while holding toxic emotions such as guilt, remorse or anguish.
Acceptance increases the flow of energy, allowing for the release of negative emotions. The positive movement of energy found in acceptance ushers in a space for new thoughts, visions, and ideas for increasing wellness. Acceptance fuels an expansion of energy that opens the door for creative solutions and honest dialogue, while giving the gift of faith.
Releasing addictions is a form of giving up that can be found in many spiritual practices, so careful discernment in this area could unveil important information. What are you giving up and what is the motivation? To answer the question, you must know the truth to understand the motivation behind the response. There is a vast difference between giving up and finding acceptance, but the difference may seem very subtle to the analytical mind.
Surrender to the energy that serves in some way, and you will better discern whether you are giving up or finding acceptance. The hardest thing you will face is to change the mind space that gives voice to the chatter supported by the ego. Altering your course might be the hardest thing you will ever do, but if the path is illuminated by the light of truth, you will find blessings and a reward embedded in your ability to receive the change that is before you.
