[QUOTE="Malika, post: 464801, member: 11227"] Well said, Nomad. One thing I do know is that to succeed in living out such a vision, one needs the inspiration and support of others who see things that way too... Because it's kind of swimming against the tide. Even though dealing with difficult things is obviously such a fundamental and necessary skill to have, few people ever teach us how to do it, it seems! This morning I was talking to a lady in my village whose husband has just lost half his hand (and all the fingers) in a terrible machinery accident. He is, of course, full of anger and self-blame at the moment. In the long term, though, his happiness will depend on the degree to which he can accept what has happened and adapt to it... Easy for me to say! I really struggle with accepting some bad things that have happened to me, and even though I see that continuing to feel angry and rejecting of them, continuing to suffer because of them, is keeping me from what I do have in the present moment, still my mind twists and revolves around in it all... It is SO hard to accept things sometimes! [/QUOTE]
