The Way It Is

Once again, please excuse this entry. It’s just one more of my private therapy sessions with myself…
During my recent searching for answers, I’ve discovered that one of the basic spiritual principles in most philosophies is the idea of opening your heart to “what is.” You can’t insist that life be a certain way. After doing a fair amount of reading, it appears that idea is very important because most internal struggles stem from the desire to control life — to insist that it be different than it actually is. Of course, life isn’t always the way we want it to be — it’s just simply the way it is. Apparently, when we are able to surrender to the truth, we may be able to find peace of mind.
I think this is a good philosophy — now if I can just talk myself into believing it…..
