Life is a continuous process of learning to live with what is.

You are unlikely to find the perfect Life that you want. Even so, you can live fully with what you have, with what you have been given. And you do that by looking Life squarely in the eye, by facing it and by accepting what is, by learning to be happy despite the circumstances.

When you learn to stop resisting pain, you learn the art of acceptance. And it is only through accepting what is that you learn to be happy despite your circumstances.

The best way to live Life is to flow with it; accepting what is, making sincere efforts to repair whatever needs fixing and trusting the process...

Denial is often seen as an aggressive state; it need not be…often you deny subtly, pushing away (under the carpet) what you don’t want to see. And when you finally accept what you have been denying, you realize you have squandered so much precious time. Must you, really, do it that way? On the other hand, accepting what is, always, unfailingly, leads you to Happiness.

Don’t try to solve all your problems at the same time. You really can’t. Instead surrender to the flow of Life. Do whatever you can in your situation, diligently, to the best of your ability and let Life lead you onward. Everything, always, happens only in its own time and at its own pace!

Pain is not a monster that is out to annihilate you as is popularly believed. Pain is a great teacher. While you can’t avoid pain, it teaches you, through your acceptance of any Life situation, that suffering is optional; that there is a lot of Life during and after a crisis. Truly, acceptance of a painful situation is the only way to deal with it.

The ability to “take Life as it comes” is a blessing. This wisdom can only come from having experienced pain and from understanding the power of acceptance.

Happiness is not about having the "perfect" Life that you have always imagined and dreamed of...Happiness is, simply, learning to accept Life with its imperfections and living fully with what is!
