We could learn a lot from crayons: Some are sharp, some are dull, some are pretty, some are colorful. But they all fit very nicely into the same box.

If you can, always be cheerful.
If you can, resist complaining.
If you can, accept that your loved ones cannot always give you their time.
If you can, take criticism and blame without resentment.
If you can, conquer tension without medical help.
If you can, relax without alcohol.
If you can, sleep without the aid of drugs.
If you can do all of the above, then you are probably the family dog. But just in case you are not, make the family dog your role model. Inner peace and happiness will be yours. Guaranteed.

The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves exactly as we are, but never stop trying to learn and grow. Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness, curiosity and a willingness to embrace paradox, rather than choose up sides.
