Jen is Zen - Accept the Uncontrollable

Send us Fan MailOur discontent often comes from our desire to control the situation and to predict the outcome. Acceptance that we can’t do that can be a huge relief and an opportunity to move forward. Maybe it’s not from where you want to be, but it’s from where you are. What would happen if instead of putting that positive or negative frame around it, you just accepted it? But we have spent so many years carrying the mental load and trying to keep so many balls in the air and so many aspects of various people’s lives under control, so it becomes a lot harder to accept things that you cannot control. Much of our anger, frustration, sadness, and loneliness – much of our suffering - is created out of our desire to control or change things. Most of these situations don’t come with the emotion – we attach the positive or negative to it. What if instead we just accepted it and found peace?Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.
