15 Affirmations for Practicing Acceptance and Tolerance

Acceptance has so many meanings. It can mean respecting someone’s religious beliefs, choices and culture. Acceptance can mean being at peace—in one’s own heart and mind—and with the world at large. Acceptance can mean tolerance with the mindset that everyone should have the right to follow their own unique spiritual path or otherwise.

Why is acceptance important?

Once you step experience beauty of acceptance—peace prevails. It’s said that love is the highest form of understanding.
