A tree is happy wherever it grows. It doesn’t secretly wish to sprout legs and run off to some other more happening part of the forest. (Robert Frost wrote a pretty great poem on this subject.)

In Buddhism, they call this patient acceptance.

Life happens in spite of your wishes. This is the nature of all things. When I began to accept this, my frustrations started to melt away.

When you can see yourself as a part of that nature, not separate from it, and start behaving as nature does, you will become more peaceful.

I’ve learned to embrace the work now.

I just don’t worry so much any more about how it all turns out.

It all turns out fine.


Dear November

Here I am writing to you..
Instead of indulging on the negative, I choose to look at things in the positive light. 
All these mistakes made today, will be a valuable lesson to make me a tougher person. 
& I do not want to change in order to fit in. 
I choose to be my authentic self. 
Yes, being too honest may backfire me in the end, but I don't wana live with so many doubts & regrets for not being able to be honest with my self.
