Acceptance
I know that we as human beings can and will be confronted with the most trying of circumstances. This is our nature. Typically we resist and cry, “NO, NO, NO, I do not want this! I did not ask for this!” when we believe the experience to be negative.
In the end, we know that yes, this is our reality. This experience is occurring and we simply have two choices in which to deal with this experience. These choices are denial and acceptance.
In every case in life, in every choice, whether we believe at the time this experience is positive or if we believe at the time it is negative, these labels don’t matter. This experience is happening. Resisting the experience provides suffering. Acceptance of the experience leads us through.
The choice of the interpretation of the experience is ours: Therein lies the choice, the view, and the reality. Therein lies life. Will you dance or will you suffer?
