[mind] 如何才能對生命有所期待? 接受現狀

Acceptance 章節的結束
寫的真好.
Life is constantly unpredictable, uncontrollable, and often quite challenging. The only thing that kept a person alive was the acceptance of the reality of one's existence and the attempt to respond as best one could.

只有當我們接受目前的狀況, 我們才能好奇下一刻人生旅程發生的美好事件.
When we accept what is happening now, we can be curious about what might happen next.

只有接受, 才會迎來諒解並解放心中的枷鎖
Acceptance was the final pillar of the mind, and it led us to the first pillar of the heart: forgiveness. When we accept the present, we can forgive and release the desire for a different past.
