One of the four noble truths of Buddhism is that life always involves suffering in obvious and subtle forms. Even when things seem good, we, as human beings, always feel an undercurrent of anxiety and uncertainty inside. And yet, most of us spend our entire life trying to avoid suffering; are completely shocked by our suffering or that there is something wrong with us because we suffer. Today, it is time to stop viewing yourself as broken, damaged or in need of being "fixed". Today, begin to see that in truth there is nothing to fix in your life. There is nothing to do and that there is nothing to become. Coping with human challenges does not mean that you are less-than or that you are damaged; it only means that you are experiencing things all human beings experience even if your ego has some other idea about being perfect. The trick is not to bend life’s will to your personal desires-to try to make like what you "think" it should be. It is the other way around. You must find the flexibility to bend to Life. Today, accept what life is offering you now and stop focusing on your suffering and how you think your life should be different. Today be willing to unconditionally accept whatever life is at this exact moment. Today, just accept and know that you are healing which means to make whole not perfect And, that healing begins when your acceptance of your life and its lessons begins.

Just for today, I willingly release any need for struggle or suffering. I am willing to accept my life as it is. I deserve all that is good in life. I recognize that peace begins within me. The more peaceful I am inside the more peace I have to share with others. The inner creates the outer always. I now go beyond barriers to possibilities and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
