“The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment.”
—
Eckhart Tolle
in pain? hurting?
upset? irritated? frustrated?
worse?
you’re not accepting reality
in some way, in some place
detach from outcomes
release the negative judgment
of where you are
if you could be anywhere else
if you could have made better choices
you would have
focus on all you have
to appreciate and be thankful for
discover contentment and its companion
natural happiness
and out of acceptance
of now
of your present reality
and how you got there
see yourself
see your choices
see your mindset
see your cognitive distortions
the filters over your perceptions
that distort
all you see
magnifying and disqualifying
release your attachments
the places you’ve tied
your happiness to specific outcomes
and just peacefully work with reality
stack the deck for the future
you want to live in
