I’ve realized that when I start my sentences with:
I wish…
I hope…
If only…
I’m worried…
that I set myself up for suffering (worry, disappointment, sadness and even anger). So I’m going to stop saying those things and catch myself when I think them. The way to true inner peace is to accept reality. And only when you have inner peace can you help others. This is an optimum time to try this as my father is in the hospital very ill right now.

I find that acceptance heals even when there is hurt.

Yes, and acceptance doesn’t mean you “approve” of it…just that it is OK and you’re not going to fight it.

I’m sorry to hear about your father. I was going to say “I hope he recovers soon” but caught myself!! You know what I mean though…
