BE with it, don’t agree with it. Your circumstances are as a result of what you were thinking and choosing before, both consciously but mostly unconsciously. Don’t make an enemy of what you have going on in your life as if it is something happening to you and as if you didn’t manifest it. Acceptance of it does not mean you have to like it AND if you use the energy expended in fighting that to instead get practiced at being present and out of your head, you will be manifesting a life you’ll prefer.
Who we are is perfect.
What we do can sometimes be dubious…
We are not what we do.
Awareness and choice are the tools that free you from the limitation of the ego.
“When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love. The only way love can come into your life is not through form, but through that inner spaciousness that is Presence. Love has no form. ” Eckhart Tolle
“If you are one of the many people who have an issue with their parents, if you still harbor resentment about something they did or did not do, then you still believe that they had a choice – that they could have acted differently.
It always looks as if people had a choice, but that is an illusion. As long as your mind with its conditioned patterns runs your life, as long as you are your mind, what choice do you have? None. You are not even there. The mind-identified state is severely dysfunctional. It is a form of insanity. Almost everyone is suffering from this illness in varying degrees. The moment you realize this, there can be no more resentment. How can you resent someone’s illness? The only appropriate response is compassion.”
Eckhart Tolle
