Though few would admit it, most of the time, when people are upset they don't actually want to feel differently, they want agreement and ways to make a situation, condition, or person change.

Happiness is more about removing the blocks to Love and remembering who you are than changing your situation or another person.

More succinctly put, Inspirational Psychology offers ways to live, learn about, and practice love.

When we combine acceptance with self-responsibility we can then see that whenever we are in a painful or disturbing situation we have two choices: We can work compassionately to bring something positive to the situation or leave. However, the key is the mental stance that we make the choice from, and thus the first step is always accepting the moment without resistance.

A miracle is when we respond with compassion where a moment ago we may have believed there was something to be upset, blaming, or angry about.

There is no moment, ever, that does not either hold an opportunity or a lesson that God is offering.

Most likely, when you are upset for any reason, it is rare that you will want to quickly see the real cause of your upset or the solution, but with practice you can begin to ask yourself honestly, is it the person/situation or is it my unforgiving thoughts about this person and the past that are upsetting me?
