[quote=2or3things;2079367]It's a total guess, Zoo, but I think it means learning to roll with the punches rather than resisting them. The thing is, life will continue to be what it is, whether or not you accept reality and learn to work with it. If you don't accept it, life doesn't get angry or upset or depressed...you do!

I agree with this in that sometimes its all about acceptance. Truly sometimes very hard........we keep hitting our head against the wall because we don't like what life is offering at this minute. We keep running against the current rather then with the current and its always, always a battle for us.

We want things to be different. We are not happy..we want more money, a different job, different parents, to get married, to get divorced, to be well, to be thin, to be pretty, to have our hair be curly...blah, blah.....its never enough. We want more control. We want to fix things now. We cannot wait.....

Yes, there are things that can be changed but a lot of it is acceptance. Dealing with the "now.'Letting go, and letting be...its about calmness, peace, and serenity......its about not fighting.....it does not mean giving up, it just means...slow down....let the universe take care of things...

Then also as the last post said, "simply ask your "t"what she means.That's an easy one!!
