Each Morning when I open my eyes I say to myself,I, not events havethe power the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead,tomorrow has not arrived yet,I have just one day,Today,and I am going to be happy in it.

It's also accepting that we have no power over the events but we have the power of choice and acceptance.

"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it."

Michael J. Fox

'Being present, means relying absolutely upon faith that everything will work out favorably in the end.'

[Fishmanpa]

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it!"

- Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997)
Albanian Missionary

Notice she never says life is "worry".....

I just wanted to thank Fishmanpa, you are truly an inspiration. I am going through a difficult time at the moment and have been away from this site for several years. However I'm now back. I'm a health professional working with people who have mental health problems and since qualifying; work, mindfulness, following my own advice, changing my diet and EMDR therapy have meant my anxiety was well in remission. Sadly things have gone a bit wrong and the big old health anxiety is back, but I want to be able to cope with this blip and any medical treatment and tests I may need, this thread has helped me to see things from a different perspective, thankyou x
