On How to Face and Accept Reality

Accepting reality can be really, really difficult - especially when we are in denial. To be honest with myself and come out of my denial of "what is" takes courage.
And the journey then continues...we can be so attached to the way we want it to be that we cannot see how it really is. And facing that truth can be incredibly painful. The more deeply attached we are, the more painful it is to let go.
Your homework assignment:
Take a piece of paper and make three columns.
Label the first column with "Problematic Problems to Me". List all the resentments and problems you experience.
Label the second column with "How I Feel About Each Behavior". List your feelings next to each problem.
Label the third column with "What Action Will I Take." Maybe your action is just the realization of who they are. And maybe you can sit with that for awhile and make the next right action.
Often, it takes multiple times (in my experience) to fully accept what is.
And then I ask myself, "Is this loving to me?".
