Surrender To The Now

It shall be good that I accept what is told about me.  I cannot see myself like others see me.  The Johari Window shows that I have a blind spot where I do not realize but others do.   However, the willingness to accept what others say can be tricky.  Acceptance is an act that can be extremely difficult.  It can be extremely painful because accepting the really difficult things is an ego deflation.  Accepting what is told can feel like an acceptance that something has failed.   Eckhart Toile defines 'Acceptance' as an act to 'surrender to the now'.  Acceptance means allowing without struggling.  He adds 'Accept - then act.  Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.  Always work with it, not against it". Acceptance of what is frees me.  When I accept, there shall be no more bickering.  There shall be no more disagreement of who's right and who's wrong.  I have to allow myself to surrender to the now and stop fighting with t

Problems And Me

Everything happens for good reasons and these reasons open doors of opportunities.  I have to think positively to accept that problems happen to teach me something.  They are to push me to grow.  They want me to overcome fears and be courageous.  They are to encourage me to change. In life, I need to change continually.  Change is constant.  It is the only way I can make things right.  Instead of looking at problems and blame them for unfortunate life events, I have to look at myself first.  I have to see whether there is anything I can improve.

The Peace Within

Peace of mind is powerful.  It is very important.  It is life saving.  When I can be rooted in myself with peace, nobody's absence or presence can affect me.  When there is peace within me, no one can disturb my inner peace. I have to get to know who I am and what I stand for in life.  I must spend time to understand the way I think and how I react to situations.  I should not hesitate to tell myself what I want, what will make me happy and why they are important.   My mind and my heart have to be good friends and not to be in conflicts. I have to remove the negativity in my life.  I have to take full responsibility for my actions and never, never to blame others.  When I blame others for my mistakes, I add toxic to my well being. Peace is not dependent on possessions and circumstances.  I must learn to remove what I do not like and which does not benefit me.  It is good that I learn to trust myself and to ease all my expectations.  I need to practice acceptance and to be contented
