How do I change that which displeases me?
You do not, unless that which displease you comes from your own actions, thoughts, or feelings. Everything else must be accepted for what it is, an outside influence that you can either give in to, or let glance off of you and stay your course.
How do I change me?
Accept that the road will be winding and unyielding. That it will have its rises and falls. Do not strive to anticipate it, but to analyze it when it arrives, and deal with it in the best manner possible. For anticipation brings anxiousness, and anxiousness will lead to aggravation, and so on to anger, or sadness. Thrive in the now. Be mindful of the emotions which are rising, understand what it is that is setting them in motion, and then work to quiet the mind.

Most people never learn what you have identified. I see most people living in the "There and Then" or the "Future, Tomorrow".
ReplyDeleteWhen we learn to live in the "Here and Now" we have reached a summit.
God gives us life, one day at a time. We can choose to live today or feel guilt for yesterday.
