When we act out or tell someone off there is some relief for the moment, but it doesn’t last. If we surrender and drop the story line, there is tenderness under all that harshness. By being kind to ourselves, we become kind to others, done properly it benefits everybody.
If we are to accept life’s sad parts, we must also embrace its good parts. As long as you have behaved responsibly, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the best of what life presents to you. Act as if you are nature’s favorite, who is to say otherwise?
To accept all things means to hold no anger or resistance toward anything, rid yourself of any concept of separation. Foregoing antagonism and separation you enter into the harmonious oneness with all things. Acceptance is the very essence of life.
Look at things exactly as they are and, when faced with an obstacle, rather than plunging ahead be patient; otherwise you may become agitated. Patience is not mere empty hoping; it has the inner certainty of reaching your goal regardless how insurmountable the situation is.
Quote: Next day is a new day, do not pressure yourself if today did not meet your expectations.
