I recall the days when I get too jerky over things that don’t fall into place. It is easier for things to go haywire when emotions go out of control. It is when you get jumpy over things that don’t go according to your expectation. I used to think probably that I am not matured enough, therefore, the anxiety. However, I began to realize that it is not the maturity, but the dualistic slant of the mind.
Dissentment, created by non-acceptance
As my antagonistic attitude towards life started to reduce, then I began to realise the trick. Look at it this way. You want all things to fall right. However, what is right and what is wrong in this ever changing world? Every good does not produce absolute good. For example, ample rain is good for the farmers but the fishermen misses his sail and catch. Therefore, a good to someone can be bad to someone else.
So, soon I realised that success and failure are only two sides of the same coin. They are relative and not absolute. So, why bother?
Acceptance brings fulfillment
But when I started accepting things as they are, giving less importance on outcomes and results, my thoughts became more stable and a fulfilling state entered into me. It is the non-antagonistic,pure state of accepting things as they in existence.
Be it a nine to five job that you don’t enjoy doing, or a neighbour that you dislike. But these are ways of the world. Only by accepting them, then you’re able to go beyond them and enjoy life. Otherwise, they will be stuck in your subconscious, that these consciousness will haunt you forever in life.
Therefore, acceptance brings about fulfillment. And fulfillment brings about maturity, those petty thoughts don’t bother you anymore.
