【英语早间课堂】当生活艰难时-坦然接受现实(1)

 When life gets rough 生活艰难时

 

What is, is

 

坦然接受现实

 

 

Buddha's famous saying tells us: "It is your resistance to ‘what is’ that causes your suffering." Think about that fora minute.

 

 

It means that our suffering only occurs when we resist how things are. If you can change something, then take action!Change it!

 

 

But if you can't change it, then you have two choices: (1) either accept it and let go of the negativity, or (2)make yourself miserable¹ by obsessing² over it.
