How well I know and even understand in my very core that suffering is a result of lack of acceptance! Why is it that I continue to resist? When I judge, I’m resisting. When I feel jealousy, I’m resisting. When I am anxious, I am resisting. When I am comfortable with myself, I am comfortable with my world too. The same world that I was experiencing discomfort in becomes my contentment when I let go of resistance and let what is be.
It is no coincidence that when I focus on the positive and feel gratitude and humility, I am free of suffering. When I see that as a reality, I can embrace acceptance. I become willing to suspend my desire to control things that I cannot control. I understand how simple it is to be simply happy. I’m happiest when my trust that all is well is deep and genuine.
