Into Acceptance of “What Is” · Be Mindful at Life's Junctions
⁘ “Move on we must, into acceptance of "what is". Not what we hoped would be. Then mindfully into the future. Problems are never avoided with the perfect game-plan — instead, attending to each and every junction in our lives as it is. Not in terms of our disconnected dreams, but in terms of the true potentials present. That, friends, is how we make the best of all things. By making the best of each and every little turn down the road.”
But move on we must, into reality,
in acceptance of "what is",
rather than what we hoped it would be.
The ghosts of resentment from the past
will do you no favors in the future.
They will simply haunt your path onward.
Learning all of our lessons, yes,
but not grinding over the past.
Then into mindfulness, a proactive orientation.
We should like to avoid the unnecessary
compounding of problems in the future.
And problems, they're never avoided
by designing the perfect game-plan for the future.
Countless the emergent factors,
the situations we did not anticipate.
How do we respond?
And then, each and every junction in our lives,
each decision point, we attend to
in self-awareness, observing "what is".
Relating to it all,
not in terms of our disconnected dreams,
but in terms of "what is",
the true potential of the situation.
That, friends, is how we make the best of all things.
By making the best of each and every little turn down the road.
It's never ever going to be picture perfect,
a one-to-one match to your dreams and hopes.
But it will become the best version of
what's available with the ingredients on the table,
when we attend to "what is",
fully and in self-awareness.
