Appreciation Journal : 25th Mar 2020

'Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life. Don't look for peace. Don't look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance. Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender. When you accept what is, every moment is the best moment. That is enlightenment. Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing. All you really need to do is accept this moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself. Surrender comes when you no longer ask "Why is this happening to me?" Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace. Leave Life alone. Let it Be. ' :ET
