I wrote in a previous article that there is no difference between December and January. People in ancient times never keep calendars, yet they were able to take note of changes in days, months, and years by observation. They observed that it takes about 24 hours for the earth to make a full rotation (and […]
One of the questions people ask is, “If I am in a state of shame, misery and hopelessness, how can I turn it around?”
Acceptance is a state of non-resistance. It is coming to terms with what ‘is’. Do not try to deny it, like you are in a trance or something. Do not blame yourself like it was all your fault; like you could have done something to prevent it from happening.
