Do we not define ourselves by our chosen future, our plans for the day or week? You get up in the morning with a plan. But stuff happens over which you do not have control. Your plans come to ruins or serious interruption. Your goals go out the window. Why get angry? Maybe you are not your plans. Anger generally does not fix your plans for the day or future. Someone got sick. The car broke down. Someone did not show up as “planned.” Weather cancelled travel. Why does your life have to be in ruins because your plans are derailed? To live life on life’s terms is acceptance of what is. Frantic, you never do the next right thing. Just notice your breathing. Let it slow down. It is OK in those moments to do nothing, when action will only make things worse.

Thanks so much for this reminder, I love it and couldn't agree more... acceptance sure does make life on life's terms much easier. For that I am grateful. :)
