“You just have to surrender and deal with reality. Surrender, meaning accepting reality.The quicker you accept reality, the quicker you can deal with it. You can only dealwith reality if you accept and deal with it step by step. Deal with reality here and now.Do not regret too much of the past, and things that didn’t turn out well. Do not befretful of the future because in the end you can only do so much. Sometimes theoutcome is not always a triumph, sometimes you die. Sometimes you fail-manytimes you fail. But it’s the attitude towards the outcome that really defines you.And whatever happens,if you come out whole-in that you know yourself more,with a better relationship with God and other people, even in the most complex contentious,maybe acrimonious of circumstances,then i think you win”
