Accept life as it is

I think the hardest thing I’m having trouble accepting at the moment is that I can’t be with the person I want to be with. There are just too many obstacles. In my heart of hearts, I know it is not right. That is why I have ended it. But it’s hard not to wish things were different. To me, accepting life means accepting that it’s not always the way you would like it to be.

This seems like a good goal to start with. Although some might see it as something of a paradox (accepting things as they are could mean not having any goals), I see it more as accepting the nature of life. And I will still set goals and strive to be the best person I can be within the parameters of what life is. Hope that makes sense.

I see this as a lifelong goal.
