CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES

WHAT TO ACCEPT

There are many ways and methods of planting a tree, but whether it will grow and bear fruit, be healthy and strive depends on our knowledge of that tree. Preparation is always necessary for it to grow like it should. A big enough hole is dug, then filled with the right compost mixture suitable for that specific tree.....some like it acid and some like it alkaline and this we need to know or it will not grow like it should and maybe not at all. Only then do we plant it, feed and water it as it needs. Life and circumstances are the same....some circumstances are not beneficial for healthy growth, mentally, physically or emotionally. We need to surround our lives with the right kind of circumstances. So we need to know WHAT TO CHOOSE, WHAT TO ACCEPT, WHAT TO REJECT AND WHAT TO LIVE BY. This we seek from those who have the knowledge and wisdom gained through experience. It very much depends on which paths we choose to travel on and which ones to reject. What we believe also depends on what is in the circle on which we travel and often we are caught up in the wrong circles which drag us down or over a cliff into undesirable circumstances  and then we don't stay there and be battered by storms - we move away from it. These are circumstances, we can change them. The choices we make depends on the knowledge we have at the time, but life is mostly about live and learn. When we do venture onto wrong paths and wish to make a U turn, we should have the freedom to do so without being held captive by our mistakes. We should have the opportunity to make right as far as we can as our pain and suffering, guilt and regrets should be payment enough for the price of the lessons. What we really need, is to be shown the right way out of the mess, thereby learning from our experiences by finding solutions to our difficulties, making our mistakes, errors and wrong choices interesting adventures, informative and uplifting instead of crushing us into a helpless, hopeless heap of nothingness.....©

Tomorrow....finding solutions......
