Most of our suffering comes from wanting life to be other than it is. Accepting ‘what is’ in this moment without wishing it were different and longing for something to change is the first step toward reducing suffering.

There are times when my mind wants to focus on the most terrible, horrible things that I can image happening to me. At times like this, my mind tells me I’ll never get past this, I’ll never be ok, I’ll never help others, I’ll never see my kids again, I’ll never....
