“I should be better. I should be something different. I
should have more.”
All of this is conception; it’s all mental
fabrication.
It’s just the mind churning up “shoulds,” “ought tos,” and
“supposed tos.”
All this is conceptual rubbish, and yet we believe it.
Part of the solution is to recognize that these thoughts are conceptual
rubbish and not reality; this gives us the mental space not to believe
them.
When we stop believing them, it becomes much easier to accept what
we are at any given moment, knowing we will change in the next moment.
We’ll be able to accept what others are in one moment, knowing that they
will be different in the next moment.
This is good stuff for everyday
practice; it’s very practical.

Don’t plant your bad days.
They grow into weeks.
The weeks grow into months.
Before you know it,
you got yourself a bad year.
Take it from me - choke those little bad days.
Choke ‘em down to nothing.
