You make yourself and all people around you unhappy simply by not accepting your current situation and circumstances. You can only make progress toward the things and situations you want in life by first surrendering to your present circumstances. It may not be what you want, but by simply accepting who you are and where you are now, gives you the clarity to map out the life you truly want for yourself.
You can not make any changes within yourself or the seemingly world around you by fighting and resisting what is now. You may not like where you are working now, you may not like where you are living now, you may not like the situation you are in now, you may not like the relationship you are in now, and you may not like who you are right now. But you can not make any improvements in your life by having all these inharmonious perceptions about your life.
To truly make any changes in your life, you must accept all that is now, so that you can detach yourself from your current situations and go deep within yourself on defining who you are and what you truly want in life.
One of the biggest breakthroughs to finding peace within yourself is the ability to unconditionally accept where you are now. It may not be what you really want, but by surrendering to the present, you can have the clarity to design the life you truly want to experience.
You spend too much time and energy with all the drama around you, that you get all caught up with all the negative thoughts and emotions. By only focusing on what you see and experience now, you hardly ask yourself what you really want to experience in life.
Since believing what you see and giving thought to appearances is easy, to make real changes in your life you need to focus all your time and energy on the unseen things, your thoughts. You will be surprised to find out that your thoughts run by themselves and only with intense focus, you will eventually gain control over your mind and have the ability to redesign the life you truly want to experience.
Ask yourself, what do you want? You will see that your mind will automatically turn to what you do not want. Here is where you will exercise your Will to only think and talk about what you want to manifest in your life. With clarity of mind, you are free. Free to create a life that is in harmony with who you are , not what others expect from you , but what you expect from yourself.
