So, when you can unconditionally accept everything and everyone, you have learned the ultimate lesson of what Love is all about. It is in this state of acceptance that the illusions of lack, insufficiency, fear, and inadequacy all disappear and the reality of your beauty, majesty, wisdom, power and eternal value become very clear and bright.
All that you previously interpreted with your ego's eyes as failure and "suffering" is now seen as just steps leadings you out of the illusion of your separateness and aloneness and instead into the realms of Oneness, Light and Love that your Higher Self or Soul dwells in eternally.
Even the Awakened One, the Buddha, said:
and hard to live the life of one.
It is even harder to hear of the path;
and harder still to awake, to rise and to follow.
But once all this "suffering" is seen as the illusion that it really is, then the true Light of who you really are finally awakens within you and then you can own, know, integrate and embody it in a way that it becomes you and you become IT.
So, let go of your ego's desire to have things always go your way, i.e. the way you "think" they should--that is, the way your ego mind wants them to go. Let your Soul instead be in the driver's seat.
Let go of the need to hold onto things that are already as you desire so they will continue to be what you want. Believe me, they never will remain the same. The only constant in this universe is "change."
Let go of trying to control others, you never will!
Let go of your fears, projections, illusions and defenses.
Let go of the need to make others wrong or right or to judge them.
Just dwell in the Light of your Soul by sitting in meditation and all will be revealed to you! "Be still and know!" Listen to the "still, small voice within!" It will lead you to your true Self.
