“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.”
Deepak Chopra
If you didn't need to be in control, had no desire to judge others and didn't seek anyones approval, what would life be like? It seems that so much in life in consumed by these three actions. It’s all ego and if you can stay still long enough you can observe these actions as they come up and want to determine your mood, your actions, and your quality of life. This need for approval or need to judge keeps your attention away from the now, they keep you focused on what doesn't matter. You can’t control what life throws you and you surely can’t control another person so the energy spent doing it is useless. This is your life and the only thing you can control is you. You have a choice about what you do and what you don’t do, so choose wisely. Life your life like you mean it and stop blaming people for where you are. You got yourself here, celebrate the good and accept what is and then maybe you can move in a different direction.
