Buddhist psychology teaches that these are all ways you cause yourself suffering:
1. Wanting to control everything (and everyone) around you and thinking that it’s possible to do so. When you relinquish the illusion of control, you ease your suffering.
2. Wishing that things and circumstances were the way you want them to be, rather than allowing them to be just as they are in reality. This kind of struggling and resisting hurts your mind, spirit and body.
3. Clinging to anything. You might be clinging to good things, wanting them to never change. You might be clinging to people, wanting them to never leave you. Or you might be clinging on to your ideas of how things should be. Clinging causes suffering.
4. Wishing that the past had been different than it was. You cannot change or undo an event that has already occurred, and the time you spend ruminating and longing for a different reality is painful.
5. Wishing that others were the way you want them to be, rather than allowing them to be exactly as they are. It’s a terrible burden to go through life wanting others to think, believe, act and speak the way you want them to. This desire often causes others to suffer too.
6. Not accepting yourself exactly as you are in any given moment. It’s OK to want to evolve and grow, but you can’t bring about true, lasting change unless you first learn to love and accept yourself just as you are.

Let everything happen to you,
Beauty and terror.
Just keep going,
No feeling is final.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Deja que todo te suceda,
Belleza y terror.
Solo continúa,
Ningún sentimiento es definitivo.
