Radical Acceptance
What it is
Radical Acceptance is the foundational mindset of facing reality without resistance. Stutz calls it the “3 Aspects of Reality”:
- Pain
- Uncertainty
- Constant Work
Why it matters
Most suffering comes from resisting these realities. We wish life were easy, certain, and fair — but it’s not. Fighting that truth leads to bitterness, avoidance, and stagnation.
Accepting these constants frees you to live fully despite them.
Practice it
- When pain comes: “This is part of being alive.”
- When the future feels unclear: “I accept the mystery.”
- When it’s hard: “Keep working. No finish line needed.”
“These aren’t obstacles — they are the path.”
