Today I will seek insight and understanding rather than comfort. If all I want is commiseration, I will embed myself deeper in the mire. Instead I will fully accept my pain, whatever it may be, knowing as Buddha taught that it is a condition of life. Running away from it does not take it away. It only forces me to live on the surface of my being.
Accepting, even embracing it allows something inside of me to open up. When I allow myself to experience a feeling rather than think about it, I can move through it. Tension and psychic blocks move aside and insight and the Higher Power have a chance to enter.

I accept the good with the bad.

Life is a test. It is only a test. If this were your actual life, You would have been given better instructions.
