Even if we were able to accept everything - unconditionally, and at all times - our hard-won sense of acceptance would quickly evaporate. This is because one cannot consciously focus on a steady state. It is like what people who live by railroad tracks report. They no longer hear the trains. They only "hear" breaks in the pattern - for instance, when a train fails to arrive on time. So, even radical acceptance requires fluctuation or oscillation.

Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice reduces the imperfection.
~ Toba Beta
Your life is your practice. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are. You are looking for answers, insight, and wisdom that you already possess. Live the life in front of you, be the life you are, and see what you find out for yourself.
