Adapt to what is
One of the most reliable ways to be miserable is to insist
that everything around you always be a certain specific way.
And one of the most reliable ways to make life continually
enjoyable is to be flexible and willing to adapt to whatever
comes along.
Real success is not a matter of being in absolute command of
the world around you. The success that truly matters comes
from being at peace with the world in which you live.
Being persistent will enable you to achieve great things.
Yet being merely stubborn will keep you mired in perpetual
disappointment.
By all means, set ambitious goals and reach for them. But
don't trivialize the process by demanding or expecting that
every little detail will go your way.
The more flexible you are about the stuff that doesn't
really matter, the more able you'll be to accomplish the
things that are important. The more willing you are to
adapt, the more truly enjoyable and fulfilling life will
be.
Adapt to what is. And you'll experience the very best of
what can be.
