Acceptance, the catalyst for a better life.
We can only do what we are able to do. Often, this is interpreted as mediocrity or complacency, but that is not the case.
Sometimes we fall into the fallacy that we can achieve and obtain everything we set our minds to. This is true, of course, but only to a certain point.
No matter how hard we strive to be the best at something: (i) there are many factors beyond our control; and (ii) if it stems from the ego, it will always want more and never be satisfied; therefore, sooner or later, this goal will cause more suffering than the happiness or pleasure it created.
The first point is vital. It is easy to lose sight of the fact that many things are outside of our control.
When setting goals, we must take this into consideration—not as a way of accepting limitations, but as a way of helping our mind find peace.
We will do what we can do. The rest is out of our hands.
Applying this to our daily lives can bring us tremendously closer to living well and in peace.
At a macro level e must love and accept the life we were given to live.
The moment we accept the life we were given, feel grateful for it, and do not wish to trade it for any other, we become alchemists.
We catalyze the pain we have carried and transform it into joy and peace.
Making peace with what is heals both the soul and the mind.
