A person with a happy mind is such that , if you put him in hell, he will convert it in to heaven.The person has a great secret in transforming everything in to joy,like how doctors transform snake poison in to medicine.We all want to be happy and run after this or that.We go on creating problems as the mind is not happy with what is.When we dont watch our mind a negative system is created and when we dwell on the negative, our pattern of anger, our pattern of justifying, our pattern of jealousy etc creates a negative system.This negative system takes over and we lose control of ourself.
To my knowledge I think life is not frustrating, the mind that is filled with expectations is frustrating.Mind is hijacked by expectations.The problem with us is that we want the world, God and nature to follow the time table that we have set.We want the world to run according to our likes and dislikes.More than all these we are prone to comparisons.We develop feelings of inferiority and superiority depending on whom we are looking at.
We have to take one thing for certain.Life is short.Why lose ourselves very early with wrong thinking.
LETS MAKE A CONSCIOUS , DELIBERATE DECISION TO STAY HAPPY UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC REASON.
Self acceptance is being loving and happy with who you are NOW. Some call it self-esteem, others self-love, but whatever you call it, you'll know when your accepting yourself cause it feels great. Its an agreement with yourself to appreciate, validate, accept and support who you are at this very moment, even those parts you’d like to eventually change. This is important..."even those parts you'd eventually like to change". If acceptance feels so good and is so good for us, then why don’t we accept ourselves? The answer is motivation. We use our lack of acceptance as motivation to get us to do, not do, be, and not be what we think we should. We hope if we feel bad enough about ourselves, that maybe that will motivate us to change. Does this work? Sometimes, but only short term. Most times all it does is cause us to feel bad which saps the energy you might have used to make changes. It can be a vicious cycle. It works exactly counter to what you wanted to do.
