I believe that much of what makes us angry about our challenges in life is having a LIFE PLAN A we fall in love with—which then does not work out—and so we’re pissed off that we have to pursue a LIFE PLAN B.
If you want to tame your inner demons, you must consciously choose to never become too obsessively attached to a particular LIFE PLAN A.
Embracing detachment as a way of life will always give you a healthier sense of peacefulness when you land plunked into life’s potholes!
In a way, the definition for enlightenment is: The quiet acceptance of what is—and an open mind to embrace LIFE PLAN B!
I personally have found that I can more readily accept not getting a LIFE PLAN A, when I get myself excited about a new LIFE PLAN B!
I also remind myself how often enough my LIFE PLAN B turns out to be something far better than my original LIFE PLAN A was ever going to be!
