We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.

We can accept God becoming Man to save Man, but not Man becoming God to save himself.
Vernon Howard
Image
A person obsessed with the need to be happy will never be so. The obsession is the obstruction.
