Suffering or Happiness?

Don Miguel Ruiz said, "Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering. Maybe we cannot escape from the destiny of the human, but we have a choice: to suffer our destiny or to enjoy our destiny. To suffer, or to love and be happy. To live in hell, or to live in heaven." 

When I feel upset or anxious and can remember that this is my path. It allows me to surrender to it, to feel some comfort in knowing that this is a lesson for me to learn and to find a way to enjoy the process. This allows me to move through the pain, suffering and resistance and into a space of understanding.
