Dear Brav3:

This is a must-read, a required reading here on tiny buddha, says I. Amazing. Everyone should read this. Wow!

My favorite parts: Accept pain as part of life, not suffering (resisting what life brings to you).. work on acceptance (cease struggle) and you will find peace in midst of pain.

In the training room, don’t struggle. When you find yourself tense, uptight, it means you are resisting. Relax. See her and relax. Pay attention the whole time: focus on accepting the pain right there.Let it be. If you feel sad, be sad, don’t try to appear happy. Don’t criticize yourself for what you feel. Don’t be kidnapped by thoughts. let yourself be.

Please post afterwards about how it went.

Thank you Anita.

I have been reading quite alot and have understood some things. The problem is and that’s a problem for everyone in this world, our habitual reactions are too strong to apply this. Breaking habitual pattern requires alot of practice and immense courage.

For instance, its a lot easier for some people ( for some its not) to not angry on small things. But when it comes to big things, like betrayal, loss, injustice etc. breaking habitual pattern is the most difficult thing to do. And this habitual tendencies are the cause of suffering.

Hi Brav3

This is an issue that I have been battling with for the last few months. I went into the relationship for the wrong reasons (as in, it will be my source of happiness). I ended up getting used instead. It was a very good lesson, because it showed me that happiness is inside us, not outside. A huge, albeit very painful lesson. Anyway, your post is EXACTLY what I needed to read today (yes, I do believe the Lord and Angels are looking out for us).
Thanks for sharing, it helped me a lot. Good luck on your journey. In the end it is all about Love

Hi Livelife364,

Thank you for writing. We often mistake pleasure as happiness. Relationship brings pleasure and pain, they are not the source of happiness. Happiness is already with us. We can only see it clearly when we drop our resistance to present, when we let go. Something easier said but very hard to do. If you practice this, you will start breaking your habitual patterns slowly and you will find your life will become easier to live, even with difficulties.

Good luck to you to.
