Accepting Character Trait

The accepting character trait allows one to look past personal perceptions of people, places, or things that may cause that person to feel uncomfortable. Instead, the accepting character trait allows a person to reach a level of tolerance and acceptance for all which the individual cannot decide, change or control. This is a learned skill that tends to become stronger over time as one participates in more life experiences, and is exposed to a wider range of people and their unique differences.

Being an accepting person can be challenging as our natural instinct is to control everything and minimize discomfort or danger. It takes a confident and brave person with a level of patience and an open-mind to accept what someone cannot control.
