We all suffer. Mental and emotional suffering often feels physical. 

We suffer from our fears and thoughts.

We create a world in our minds that doesn’t exist in reality. 

We suffer from our actions.

We regret the past, a past that cannot be changed. 

We suffer from our hopes,

when we cannot find a way to achieve our dreams in the current situation. 

Emotional suffering is a choice,

a choice of deciding what to accept and what to reject. 

When we accept ourselves for who we are,

and others as they are,

and the situation for what it is, 

we can reduce our suffering,

by letting go.
