When I find a situation to be unpleasant for me, I used to try to change the situation. I never thought to try and change my attitude. Think of a social gathering. I don’t feel like a good fit. Either I don’t know anyone, or I know everyone and don’t want to spend time with them at the moment. Extra drink? Leave? Sulk in quietude? Done that. Now I think that maybe I can change me, my attitude. Feel lonely? But I am not alone. I have my spiritual power within me. Or as I say, “God loves me.” Ah, some emotional sobriety. Now I discover acceptance. What can I add to the situation? This event, these people are not all about me. “Oh, there is a perfect stranger who looks like I felt a minute ago.” I go and say hello. And I drink water. And so it goes.
