"Non-acceptance is always suffering, no matter what you are not accepting. Acceptance is always freedom, no matter what you are accepting. " Cheri Huber


I've noticed that life tends to go smoother when I go with the flow.  Yesterday I had a conversation that went like this:
Him: Can I have it to use?
Me: No.
Him: Can I have it to use?
Me: No, but you can have this other thing.
Him: Can I have it to use?
Me: No.
Me Later (after this conversation stayed in my head for several hours): Okay Yes.
 
And that lead to my freedom. It stayed in my head because it took energy to hold the 'No'.  When I finally chose to let him have it,  then I stopped thinking about it.  I figured out I was reacting to him being pushy rather than my actual attachment to giving him the thing he wanted. I chose to go with the flow instead of hinder it. What good does that do either one of us?
