Inspirational Reminder: Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional

We all get knocked over by external forces from time to time which challenges us to stay inspired and at peace. I can personally attest to this fact which is partly why you have not seen a posting from me in awhile. However, I do manage to return to a place of peace before the next wave of material entaglement finds it's way back into my life. Usually when I am faced with a situation that disrupts my harmony, the universe has a way of placing something inspirational in my path that brings me back to center.

One concept that I have to remind myself of quite frequently when I am in the mist of adversity is there is no circumstance that is more powerful than I am. Because we can change our beliefs about our situations, we can change how we react to them. Although most of us have been taught that the external world is more powerful than we are, we can feel empowered when we understand that we do not always consciously choose the circumstances we find ourselves in. However, we do have a choice in how we feel and think about them.

  1. Cannot agree more with you in my current difficult situation, this is a great approach to mentally achieve peace with unchangable and change what can be changed in the best possible way.
