Accept good or bad Equally

Everybody wants to have only good things in life. But that does note happen. Life is not a bed of roses. Things may come that shatter your life. Hence one should be mentally prepared to deal with such circumstances. If good things come, he should enjoy them. If a bad thing happens, he should not be dismayed. He should accept that with calmness and repose and try to overcome the situation and make further efforts to achieve his goal. Frustration for failure makes one only unhappy. One should also realise that one would not get all what he wants. To accept all circumstances, good or bad, gracefully is called a state of evenmindedness in the scriptures. The yogis and spiritual seekers preserve to achieve it. This cannot be easy for the ordinary mortal. Nevertheless, one should know that it is a string of life to be tried to be played for a harmonious life.
