We are not trying to control the results, but we are doing our best to create the conditions that will lead to the desired result. When we separate our emotional state from the results of our efforts, we maximize the chance that our efforts will be focused and effective. We have the opportunity to make every effort to achieve a laudable goal. Acceptance is a choice in serving our happiness and an opportunity to try again tomorrow. And we also have the opportunity to consciously accept what is happening next.
