So what am I actually saying? That I shouldn't strive to change things I don't like in my life? That I offer a defeatist worldview? Definitely not. There are times when it is necessary to stand up and take action to change the situation, and even if it is not necessary, there is nothing wrong with wanting things to be different. I only suggest that we do it intelligently, consciously, so that we don't spend our lives in continuous resistance to what life brings our way. I suggest an attitude which allows acceptance of the whole range of life's experiences - because they are all part of the journey.
