The next time you lose heart and you can’t bear to experience what
you’re feeling, you might recall this instruction: change the way you
see it and lean in. Instead of blaming our discomfort on outer
circumstances or on our own weakness, we can choose to stay present
and awake to our experience, not rejecting it, not grasping it, not
buying the stories that we relentlessly tell ourselves. This is
priceless advice that addresses the true cause of suffering—yours,
mine, and that of all living beings.

Pema.
