That is exactly what the definition of DBT "radical acceptance" is all about. We accept today what things are for now that we don't have the ability at this time to change....but it doesn't mean that we won't change how we see things tomorrow with a different perspective on things because of other changes that have happened........everything is forever changing & we need to be as flexible in our lives as the changes we are forced to experience.

Took me a long time to realize that I can't hope for something to just "be fixed" & never have to deal with it again....like I always thought about things growing up...life isn't like that.....it's something that constantly needs work on & constant tweaking to adjust how we perceive & deal with out lives
