There is no sense in fighting and working yourself up on issues that are far beyond your circle of influence. When something affects you, but you can not alter it; acceptance without stress is the only option. Not because you find it palatable, but because you choose to value your internal peace. Without internal peace and calmness, one becomes impotent in even dealing with things that one could affect positively. Too many people make themselves miserable on situations and happenings that are clearly beyond their influence. Please don't waste time and energy on such matters, if you are spiritual; take it as divine plan, accept it and move on in life. If not than choose some other recourse to accept it without being bitter. Value your internal peace.
I think there is a Hazrat Ali quote which goes like, "If I ask something from God and He gives it to me, I am happy because it is my will. If He does not give it to, I am ecstatic because it is God's will".
ReplyDeleteYeah ... that is the basic idea
