Accepting everything as it is seems like a very tall order, but the alternative is to not accept it and look at things from a slanted view (wanting things different) and in the process cause your own suffering…
Nothing stays the same so it’s not the changes that occur in life that throw you for a loop, it’s the slanted view that things will always be a certain way, this is what makes change much more difficult to accept. If everything could be accepted as it is, you would never be thrown for a loop because the slanted view that tells you things should remain as they are wouldn’t occur. Accepting everything as it is seems like a very tall order, but the alternative is to not accept it and look at things from a slanted view and in the process cause your own suffering…
For one to get beyond their slanted view, it has to be understood that it’s your own mind that’s causing it. Life is what’s seen through the way it’s created and it’s created through how it’s viewed. Why a view is considered slanted is because of how the mind reacts when changes occur and it isn’t accepted. This view keeps the mind closed to the conditioning that sees things slanted; if this conditioning isn’t changed nor will the slanted view change. It’s not that a certain view needs to be implemented, all that’s needed is to be aware of the slanted thinking. Awareness is key in change because it allows for acceptance, and when the world can be accepted as it is, good, bad, or indifferent, just maybe one can view life in a way that’s not slanted…
