From the book a prescription for happiness.

"Accept whatever happens to you for now" may mean you may have to accept the unacceptable.
You may have to forgive the unforgivable.You may have to love the unlovable. You will have to get your finger off the emergancy alarm button in your mind. That keeps you wound up so tight inside.
Do you really think your survival is threatened by this stuff. You are clinging to or running from.

It means telling your mind that what looks like a catastrophe just aint so. There are many other people who are emotionally accepting what you are making yourself unhappy about. If they can accept it perhaps you can to."
