“Patience is the antidote to anger, a way to learn to love and care for whatever we meet on the path. By patience, we do not mean endurance — as in “grin and bear it.” In any situation instead of reacting suddenly, we could chew it, smell it, look at it, and open ourselves to seeing what’s there. The opposite of patience is aggression — the desire to jump and move, to push against our lives, to try to fill up space. The journey of patience involves relaxing, opening to what’s happening, experiencing a sense of wonder.”
~ Pema Chodron
What is is what is, my friend. And did you know that the best way to change what is is to embrace it?
Remember, like everything else, what is is only temporary. Surrender the struggle and you allow the future to unfold with grace.
