There are things we can't avoid and control to happened. That all we have to do is accept it and move on.
But how?
Change is the only constant in this life, and we all know that. All of us have changed and this will remain dynamic for an uncertain amount of time. Our ability to managed changes will determined our success in life and our overall state of mind.
We sometimes ignore things we don't want to see and we sometimes wish to see it differently. We sometimes wasted our time and energy resisting to somethings that cannot changed or we used or pushed to believed that somethings may changed.
There are situations that no matter how we tried, if it is not meant for it, things won't changed. If we stop resisting and accept what it is, we can stop the suffering and pain.
Remember, pain + resistance = suffering
We should learn to accept that some things won't changed. Acceptance starts with perceiving the reality. We have to acknowledge what is present. Acceptance doesn't mean that we can't work on changing things and that what we are accepting will remain forever. But resisting against reality will only makes us suffer.
