More often than not, when we really don't like how life is going-a relationship on the brink of fizzling, a much needed job change, a missed opportunity, as well as the daily curveballs that life throws at us, we dig in. We hang on and resist with everything we've got to make the present moment into something other than it is. The result? Stress. And lots of it. In fact, one way to measure unhappiness is the difference between where you wish you were and where you actually are. Acceptance. Not complacency. Once we learn to genuinely accept this moment exactly as it is, things immediately get easier. Learning to take life as it comes opens the door for peace of mind, increased happiness, creativity, and productivity.
