accept reality

with resentment

over “unfairness”

it simply is

what it is

accept, don’t resist

and then adapt and learn

to flow with reality

of who others are

of what your circumstances have become

of where your choices have led

of where others choices have led

and out of peaceful acceptance

thoughtfully, calmly, rationally

kindly, compassionately, effectively

choose to respond in ways

that make things steadily

better

thebookquotes:

“Don’t apologize for your feelings. Never apologize for those.”

— Jenna Evans Welch, from Love & Olives

but don’t trust them

to be accurate portrayals of reality

accept you feel them

then seek to understand

where your thinking led to them

so you can let them go

so they will let you go

and out of understanding

choose effective, rational, healthy responses

resqectable:

“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete”

— Buddha

accept your own progress

on your own path

(you are as far

along your path

as you could be)

and seek understanding

when you miss your own mark

no self-judgment

no self-punishment

no self-shaming

no self-recrimination

no self-condemnation

start now

you’re not guaranteed

another moment

don’t let feelings

trap you in a pit

bellisimabelinda:

focus on this moment

what you can actually do

right now

it’s the only chance you have

to make any difference

to change anything

that worries you

channel the worry

into changing this moment

into your own growth
