Let whatever happens be okay...

From flat tire to house fire, no matter what happens in our lives, we ALWAYS get to choose how we're going to deal with it. We can let it get the best of us, causing us to react without thinking. Or we can choose - deliberately - not to struggle against it, but to let it be okay. No matter what it is. 

But why would you want to do that? Well, the biggest and best reason is the simple fact that how we react to a circumstance - any circumstance - is what determines the next iteration of the circumstance. 

The situation that I mentioned in the video below - the one that really pissed me off - is a perfect example. If I had reacted out of anger, the situation had some real potential to snowball into something bigger than it needed to be. Instead, I decided to accept it as the Universe supporting me in my decision to let whatever happens be okay. And I chose not to react. Nor did I respond. After a few minutes of bitter complaining about the injustice of it all, I decided to just let it be what it was, without confronting the other person involved AND without allowing myself to feel like his victim, which is where I was headed at first. And without ANY action, reaction, or response from me, the situation handled itself beautifully. 

And I only created my own suffering about it during those first few minutes. 

So... can you let whatever happens be okay with you? Of course you can. The more important question is: Will you? Try it for yourself and watch what happens as things you used to struggle against start moving out of your experience 10 or 100 times faster than they used to.
