A 'Native American' was walking up a mountain
when he heard a voice.
"Carry me with you," it requested
the 'Native American' turned and saw a snake. He
refused. "If I carry you up the mountain you will
bite me."
"I wouldn't do that," the snake assured. "All I
need is some help. I am slow and you are fast,
please be kind and carry me to the top of the
mountain."
It was against his better judgement, but he
agreed. He picked up the snake, put him
in his shirt, and resumed the journey. When
they reached the top, he reached in his shirt to
remove the snake and got bitten.
He fell to the ground, and the snake slithered
away.
"You lied !" he cried, "You said you
wouldn't bite me."
The snake stopped and looked back, "I didn't
lie. You knew who I was when you picked me up."
We hear the legend and shake our heads. He
should have known better, we bemoan. And we
are right. He should have.
And so should we. But don't we do the same?
Don't we believe the lies of the snake? Don't we
pick up what we should leave alone?

<><> ACCEPTANCE <><>
Acceptance means that you can find the serenity within to let go of the past with its mistakes and regrets, and move into the future with a new perspective, appreciating the opportunity to take a second chance.
Acceptance means you'll find security again when difficult times come into your life, and comfort to relieve any pain. You'll find new dreams, fresh hopes, and forgiveness of the heart.
Acceptance does not mean that you will always be perfect. It simply means that you'll
always overcome imperfection.
Acceptance is the road to peace - letting go of the worst, holding on to the best, and finding the hope inside that continues throughout life.
Acceptance is the heart's best defense, love's greatest asset, and the easiest way to keep on believing in yourself and others.
