“Accept what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.”
This is easier said than done! For those who know it, this is similar to the Serenity Prayer. We have no choice but to accept what is because we can not change it no matter how much we want to. We need to let go of what was, but not by letting go of our memories of it, only by letting go of the wanting it back, the pining away for it, the focusing on it to the sacrifice of everything else. Once we let go, we can accept what is and we can have faith in what will come. And, what will come will come either way, but it will be better if our minds and hearts are open to it instead of stuck pining away for the past we can’t go back to.
