Byron Katie
Dear Hearts,
How often do we fight against the facts of our life? We want the facts of our life to be different or we want the people in our lives to be different. We then go about engaging a battle of manipulation in our heads trying to figure how to change something or someone. And we waste an enormous amount of our precious life energy.
When we are up against a situation that we know is not going to change or a person that refuses to change, we have several choices. We can keep banging our head against the wall (with no better results than a bloody head!) or we can simply adjust our attitude and learn to love what is.
Life isn’t always the way we think it “should” be. Certainly people aren’t. However, we have a choice. We can choose to fight until our very last breath trying to achieve the impossible. Or, we can learn to go with the flow. We can learn to enjoy what is rather than focusing on what’s not. We can learn to love others just the way they are rather than focusing on what they aren’t.
Loving what is allows us to live productively, it allows us to live gratefully, gracefully and most of all it allows us to live peacefully. Is there a situation or a person in our lives today that we can cease fighting and begin to love just the way it is or they are? It’s worth a try.
With love and blessings,
Rev. Barbara
