Accepting What Is
Are you battling with a problem that you cannot do anything about?
If so, let it go!
It may not be the answer you want to hear, but once you let go, life lightens up for you.
You see, there are some things you can change and there are some things you can't change.
Learning to accept what is will help your life flow without stress or turmoil.
Knowing what you can or can't change is the key.
For example, you book a camping holiday but accept that you can't do anything to book nice weather. So, if it blows a gale and throws down enough rain to fill a lake, you just have to accept that's the way it is.
You then have choices ...accept the way it is and moan or accept the way it is and have fun.
Accepting what is allows you to bring out your better qualities.
When you stop dwelling on the things you can't change, you avoid anxiety and all those pesky emotions that make you feel frustrated and depressed.
You start to flow with life.
So, if you're in a situation that is causing you some stress, first ask yourself ... Can I change this?
If you can, then do so!
If it's something that you really can't change, then ask yourself ...
Can I accept this?
Acceptance can be challenging because the ego fights it.
It's in our nature to try and control and shape a situation to suit us. When we can't, our ego cries, shouts and makes as much noise as possible.
Realize that it's just your ego that holds you back, and gently accept.
T.S. Eliot once said...
"Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it."
Life will flow more freely when you accept what is.
