We may forgive ourselves were we to fantasize about a carefree life, knowing all the while ‘tis but a fantasy. Life, as we know all too well, is anything but carefree. In truth, life is an ofttimes tortuous path strewn with mistake and misfortune. The trick is to not let things get out of hand.
Whether self-imposed or otherwise, life’s problems have to be faced up to and dealt with. Denial is not a solution. Relief will only come if we: 1) quiet the turmoil of the mind and acknowledge responsibility; 2) let go of conscious thoughts and mentally step away from the problem; 3) with a clear mind, allow the initial steps for a solution to take hold, being careful not to force the issue; 4) Look for the ever-present sunshine, confident in the knowledge that no problem is insurmountable; 5) fear not to confide in a trustworthy friend, being mindful that two heads are ofttimes better than one; 6) await resolution of the problem, to be revealed in a state of quietude; 7) Give thanks!
