How Can I Be Happy Without Them Changing

Let me look at myself in the field of relationships, scene after scene, accepting each situation as it comes. This is exactly how it was meant to be. And now I have the power to change it to something better. The past is over. The present and the future are a choice.

Let me see myself today with everybody, with no complaints and no criticism. How would the day be? The same stuff, the same traffic, the same children, the same people on the road driving their own way, the same colleagues at work, the same spouse. Everyone is the same, doing things their way, through their sanskars.

But today, I am changing my sanskar, the sanskar of criticism and complaining. Let me see myself. How will I be with them today as I watch them behave the way they think is right? How will I respond? By understanding them with love and compassion.
