There seems to be so much in life that we don't have control over even in the midest of the best-made plans. Given this uncertainty, there are a lot of opportunities for frustration, disappointment and distress. But what is important to remember is that even in the midst of uncertainty and plans gone wrong, you can be the master of your attitude.

Now I had a choice:

1. Continue to complain, feel victimized by the inaccurate information I had been given OR
2. Move on, acknowledge that I had easily made a plan and make a phone call to have dinner with a friend.

I chose to move on. My simple attitude shift acknowledged my frustration and allowed me to move on since I am the master of my attitude.

There are two "acknowledge" in the two underlined sentence. Could you help me to paraphrase the two underlined sentences.

Thanks

2). .., accept that I had easily made (another) plan
acknowledged my frustration = accepted the fact that I was frustrated.
