understanding things that you cannot change

As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life - 

delight, surprise, pain, dismay - I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I 

really need right now to be happy?" What I come to over and over again is that only 

qualities as vast and deep as love, connection and kindness will really make me happy 

in any sort of enduring way.
