“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

“Despite how open, peaceful, and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.”

— Matt Kahn

accept where

people are on their own path

without judgment or expectation

perfectquote:

“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.”

— Andrew Carnegie

accept who people are

who their actions

reveal them to be

without judgment

or expectation

or attachment

to them being more

or already being

further along

their own path of growth
