Suppose you used to lead a meaningless life and suddenly something or somebody came in to turn everything alive and rosy and quickly it disappears again to bring you back to nothingness. How could you overcome this disaster? acceptance as a first step itself is impossible. how can we accept death? as far as presence is concerned, it requires something positive to cling to, otherwise, the past memories remain a shelter you resort to. Yet, action, forgiveness and integration are of a great help to people who have been through a destructive experience. You can drown your misery at work or in helping others…just to feel that your life has got a meaning but I think that I haven’t been able to feel real happiness or enjoy life anymore.

I am forwarding this post to my 17 year old daughter. She and her brother recently lost both a beloved uncle and grandfather on their father’s side of the family in less than a month. It has been a lot to deal with in a very short time and I think this may help her.

I got here from ZenHabits and love your blog. Thanks.

Yes, life is difficult. The strange thing is that I really value the things didn’t come easy to me.

I was just reading an interesting post by Hunter Nuttall on overnight success

It made me remember how important difficulty and struggle are. Those are the times when we know we’re heading in the right direction but success has not yet caught up with us. We’re in walking in the desert having faith that we’ll find an oasis. Those times are precious and forge our inner strength.

I’ve always leaned on M. Scott Peck’ opening to The Road Less Traveled

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult–once we truly understand and accept it–then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”

Congrats on getting your eBook out there!

Acceptance is very difficult because we have to let go of control and of our wish to bend reality to our will.

I believe acceptance is one of the nobelist qualities a human being can embody. I think it demands a great deal of humility. Bamboo Forests last blog post..“Wocka Wocka Wocka”

@Sebastian
It’s all your fault, Sebastian

You forced me to start a blog and you’ve been encouraging me to write ebooks ever since.

Thank you for your unstinting encouragement and wise guidance!

It’s so wonderful when one’s kid turns into a trusted advisor!

What a lovely comment, Annie! I was a bit nervous about publishing this book because it contains stories of people whom I treasure and who have changed my life. They might have thought my work helped them, but, really – they shaped my life in the most amazing way.
