Control is unevenly distributed. We can choose some actions, influence some outcomes, and prepare or repair. Other facts are already beyond our reach: an event occurred, another person chose, time passed, or a limit exists.

Acceptance begins where control no longer reaches. It means recognizing a fact that insistence cannot undo. It does not mean approving of the fact or giving up on everything around it.

Agency begins beside that boundary. Given what is now so, what can still be influenced? What support, action, or boundary remains available?

Acceptance without agency can become resignation. Agency without acceptance can spend itself fighting what has already happened. We need to see both domains clearly.
