Acceptance

We had a sweat lodge tonight for someone returning from a vision quest and, at the end of the lodge, she spoke of her experience.  She was disappointed because the vision quest was not spectacular enough for her and there were several things during the quest that she did not have access to, though she tried.  I suggested that it was just the higher powers way of saying “you are not going to do this”.  I have gotten the same message many times.  As a result, I tend to accept any circumstance as just right the way it is, and not strive to achieve some additional goal that I set my sights on.  Setting my sights on some additional goal adds stress and takes me out of the moment.
