I write a fair amount about acceptance, which as you know, is a spiritual concept shared by the Stoics (modern Stoics know little about stoicism besides the tag lines, which is an aside that I may or may not have to get to later in your essay, time will tell). You may be familiar with a spiritual Medium writer from a few years ago, Patrick Paul Garlinger, who has moved on to different pastures, or away from these, not sure. Anyway, he wrote:

“There’s a balance to be found between being present and accepting the present moment while still opening to a new way of being in the world. As you heal spiritually, you know the present moment is full of possibility and, in its own way, is perfect just as it is. Yet you also know that you are capable of co-creating with the Divine, and there are wonderful opportunities that can emerge in the future if you focus your attention and take divinely inspired action”

I quoted that in my https://medium.com/promptly-written/spiritual-prompts-for-the-week-of-june-12th-18th-86877724cd6b and said:

"With respect to Patrick’s inclusion of “perfect just as it is” and the Big Book passage’s “situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment,” neither requires a belief in total predestination for one to feel impacted by those words. In fact, while I believe that soul contracts do provide for certain events with varying specificity, I believe free will, both our own and through many degrees of separation, shapes our lives. So, then how can I practice accepting that everything is as it is supposed to be? I’m actually formulating this thought as I write. Perhaps, moment by moment everything is as it is supposed to be because there is no other way for it to be because everything that caused the present moment is in the past and there is nothing I can do to change the past so therefore the only possibility for the present moment is for it to be just the way it is and since there are no other options, that is in some way the perfect occurrence."
