What do you need to change the most in your life?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 22, 2007:
Nothing! But if i say that, perhaps you will think my life is perfect and i am happy and contented. Not exactly...But it occurs to me that it is exactly the desire to change things in my life which takes away from my underlying happiness. My life is complex, some things seem to be going very well, other things not so well. But that also shifts all the time. In fact, it is all changing all the time, so whether i desire the changes or not, they will happen. What i need to change is the desire to change things in my life! But since it is human to want to change things, then i get to accept even that desire to change things. Radical acceptance of who i am as i am, and the world as it is-that's what appeals to me today.

Intelligent answer.
Thoughtful. Smart. Reasonable.
Living in a state of constant change, how can we not change, desire change, resist change? Might as well accept it.
thanks, i read some of your site, and can see why you resonate with this.
