Freeing Yourself From Upsets

I have been quoting from the excellent book What You Think is What You Get by George Lavenia. The following has helped me immeasurably when talking with prospects for my business.

We spend most of our lives trying to control. manipulate, change, or totally avoid what arises in life. We feel as though life is something we have to contend with on a daily basis. This struggle is like being on a roller coaster with endless ups and downs. However, life itself is constant change. If you forget that, you will suffer over the very changes themselves. By holding onto your idea of how things should be, you become the cause of your own suffering. All that is required to free yourself from life’s upsets is to stop judging the experiences that come up for you.
