There are certain situations in life that we simply cannot change.
But regardless of the situation, we always have the freedom to choose how
to respond. If we have the correct attitude, we will be able to progress
without breaking down, no matter how difficult a situation may be. If we
have the attitude of surrender, we will understand that there is nothing in
life to reject. We will have the attitude of acceptance alone. If plants
are able to grow from manure and give fragrant flowers in return, if the
civet cat and the musk deer can spread sweet fragrances, why can't we
transform our lives into flowers that are eternally full and fragrant? Why
can't we become like a never-fading rainbow, eternally bring joy to one and
all?
