What is the meaning of the word 'Embrace?'

Starting with the letter E, the word 'Embrace.'

The word 'Embrace' is explained as follows in The Positive Dictionary:

Embrace: Embrace that which has enduring value.

* To embrace is to accept, adopt and promote that in which we believe.

Embracing, or hugging, a loved one or a friend is a show of affection. By encircling people with our arms we bring them into our space. With that we have accepted and adopted the person and are promoting the relationship.

Embracing also applies to a cause. We can embrace, for example, the cause of positive living. Once we discover that we can decide to more positive in life we can accept that we can do something about negative thoughts and feelings.

Once we have accepted it we can then adopt positive living to make it part of our lives. We can practice it, we can use it to handle problems and we can apply it in negative situations. We can make it our own.

We can then promote it by spreading goodness around us, by being compassionate in our relationships, by working hard to attain worthwhile goals, by motivating others and by serving the community.
