Acceptance - How It Changed My Life - Reflections & Opportunities

Writer: David CloustonDavid Clouston

Meditation saved my life.


I am alive.


When I reflect on how much my life has changed since my 20s, I am grateful.


Reflecting on this week, I could see there was someone I was not accepting in my mind.


Inside my mind, I made reasons why I didn't like them. I turned away from this person.


Through reflecting on my thoughts at night, I could see I am holding judgements towards this person.



Luckily, I can now see my own thoughts

I realised these were my own judgments. They were not created by someone else.


This week, I decided to open to this person. I physically turned my body towards them and showed interest.


The person was open and friendly, and not at all judgmental towards me. It was easy to talk to them and I learnt something through the conversation we had.


Fortunately, I started meditation, because if I didn't, I would have spent my entire life continously creating judgments about people, which would have restricted my life more and more.


My mind would have become a smaller and smaller tunnel.


I would have ended up very lonely, without any way to escape myself.


Thank you to the great method that came into my life. 🙏
