“When people see some things as beautiful,
\nother things become ugly.
\nWhen people see some things as good,
\nother things become bad.”<\/p>\n

~Lao Tzu<\/em><\/p>\n

How we make ourselves MISERABLE!!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two things that we do that make us miserable; that cause great suffering … that causes optional suffering.<\/p>\n

1.) The first is to judge;
\n<\/strong>2.) the second is to have expectations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are judging machines.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 I suspect that when you pay attention to your thoughts and note each and every time you judge something (from the coffee is good – to- oh no, it’s gray outside), you will find that there’s a whole lotta’ judging going on.<\/p>\n

Want to participate in an experiment? Just for today, instead of labeling things \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad,\u201d just say, \u201cit just is.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The number on the scale\u2014\u201c’it just is.\u201d Your breakfast\u2014\u201cit just is.\u201d The state of affairs in the office\u2014\u201cit just is.\u201d It’s neither \u201cgood” nor \u201cbad\u201d; \u201cit just is.\u201d<\/p>\n

If things are neither good nor bad; if things \u201cjust are,\u201d you can alleviate the push n’ pull, the ups n’ downs, of good vs. bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just is\u201d is a place of balance. <\/em><\/strong>And in this place of balance you will not only learn to accept things the way that they are, but you will see things in an entirely new light and with it your expectations will dissipate into thin air<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n
