“When you complain you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it. All else is madness.”
— Eckhart Tolle

start with

accepting the current reality

you’re in the situation

because your choices,

your path, led you here

then seek to understand

your own choices

so you can make new, better ones

turn all that hurt you

to your benefit

you will live

trapped

in trivia

until you learn

to let go

to see even the huge things

as small in the context of eternity

and just learn from your past

instead of permanently

camping in it

“If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can’t just wait to see what kind of day you’ll have. You have to decide what kind of day you’ll have.”
— Joel Osteen

happiness is a result

of focus

a choice made

to focus

on all that is good in your life

all that you have

to be thankful for

a spiritual posture

an attitude

of gratitude

so consistently chosen

that it forms a heart

of contentment and joy

“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

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

“You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.”

don’t lose entire days

when you get derailed

master the moment

master picking yourself

back up, quickly, gently,

kindly, compassionately

when you stumble, struggle, or fall

restart

at any time during the day

when you lose your center

reclaim the rest of your day

don’t wait til tomorrow

you create

your own happiness

as well as

your own unhappiness

learn and choose

“Dont cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

— Dr. Seuss (via perfectquote)

let go of this moment

so the next moment

can be experienced

savored, appreciated
