Finding happiness within starts with acceptance: the acceptance of yourself, as well as your circumstances and situations. Life will never be perfect. But life seems perfect when you’ve accepted that life is not perfect. Happiness comes when you accept the imperfection, the flaws, the ups and downs, and enjoy the moments in life.

Everything is fleeting: the good things will pass, and the bad things will pass.  Just accept life as it is: no matter what it is, this too shall pass. Adjust and adapt yourself to situations as much as you can. If you’re tight on money this month, then spend less; if you hate your job, then quit or plan to quit; if your partner is abusive, then break up with him or her; if you’re prone to disease, then start exercising and eat well.

Life is not meant to be perfect, nor is it meant to be easy. Life is a game. You are the player. The players pride themselves in their ability to beat challenges. They never said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it. As a human species we constantly look for challenges to get through, whether it is getting to the top in our career, buying a car, owning a house, moving to another country, having a kid and then another kid, starting our own business, investing in businesses, learning another language, or doing a triathlon. We look for and find challenges for the sake of overcoming them. Life has its own flow that has to take its course. Find your natural self and do what you’re good at.
