Very good quote re: acceptance

To complain is always non-acceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness." ~ Eckhart Tolle

I would love to really GET this... but I don't quite understand the difference between complaining and asking for help, because sometimes when you ask for help you have to explain why something isn't working for you. But that sounds like complaining. Agh!
Time to meditate on complaining!

Complaining is just that--complaining. Asking for help is taking action to resolve the situation, which means you have accepted the situation to start with. (or you wouldn't be asking for help) Make sense?

Reading The Power of Now was a HUGE help when I needed it most
