I heard this affirmation in one of Deepak Chopra`s speeches, and it instantly sunk into my mind as an imperative of how I shall choose to act in my daily endeavors.
I find that a more effective way to approach uncertainty and disappointment is by allowing the events of our discontent to unfold without our interference.
It is when we surrender to life that Life happens. We can never gauge what the future holds for us from a place of fear and aggression. The future is a direct result of our actions today. If we choose to live in a state of peace and kindness, we will attract reciprocity of those emotions. But if we dwell in self-pity and anxiousness, we will automatically “subscribe” to more unpleasantries and dissatisfaction.
So let us not oppose anything that happens to us – beginning with #Today. And it can be anything of the following:
Instead, let us focus on reversing those attitudes and embracing the reality-of-everything-we-cannot-longer-change with kinder thoughts, compassion, and complete acceptance:
We tend to worry the most for the things that we can control the least: unexpected expenses, changes of relationship status, cold weather when we are on vacation, etc… And those are exactly the kind of opportunities I believe we must dedicate to learning how to trust more and surrender to the unknown with a firm belief it is for our ultimate benefit.
In my experience, the sooner I release the control grip and loosen up the tension, I quickly gain a fresh perspective and motivation to deal with the reluctance to find the wisdom (and the lesson) amidst the undesirable circumstances I am experiencing.
Yet, we can worry all we want but things as just they are. And we can either adapt to their ebb and flow or be
drawn in misery and chronic worry.
So let us oppose nothing that happens (to us) today.

You Attract WHO You Are, NOT What You Want And WHO you are is a byproduct of your upbringing and the relationship patterns inherited by your parents/society You must first understand your inner child archetype and release the emotional triggers holding you back.
Are you a chronic people pleaser? Are you desperate to gain other people’s approval while neglecting your own needs?
Success, in any area of your life, is 25% of what you’re doing and 75% who you’re BEING. Ask yourself, “Who AM I BEING while communicating with my partner/the people in my life?” Then ask yourself, “Do I like this person?”; “Do I like the way I communicate?”
Do you often focus on being so caring towards others that you forget your own needs? Do you find yourself trying to take responsibility for other people’s feelings and problems to the point of emotional burnout? Do you often say YES to things you don’t want to do because you don’t know how to say…
