In order to truly live our best life, there are certain realities we need to accept before that can be made possible.  For one, we need to accept the fact that people come and go. Your social circle will inevitably become smaller. But that’s alright.

Accept that, and move on.  People grow apart, and that’s life.  Another important life lesson to accept is that nothing is ever free. Everything comes with a price, no matter what it may be.  The lessons we learn come with a price. When things end, it may hurt, but take everything as a learning experience.

It is important to accept the fact that every relationship takes work. Nothing and no one should be taken for granted.  If you truly treasure someone, you must show them. Give every friendship that you care about your 100%.

Accept the fact that the grass will always be greener wherever you water it. You compare yourself to those around you and envy them. But everyone has their own struggles and challenges, despite what it may look like on the outside.  Focus on your own grass, water it, and allow it to grow and flourish.

Accept the fact that you won’t be able to please everyone in your life. If people don’t like you, then so be it. Don’t change yourself to make other people happy. You will only take away from your own happiness in the process.

Accept the fact that life is not always fair, that you might work hard and still have to work even harder to get to where you want to be. Eventually you will get there. But you’ve sometimes got to suck things up and keep your head up.
