Whether through Buddhism, Taoism. Stoicism, AA, NA, or any of a hundred other schools of thought (or combinations thereof), many of us have found serenity not by struggling but by surrendering. I don't mean surrender in the sense of "giving up" in utter despair. I mean accepting reality and making the best of it by knowing what you can control and what you cannot.
I fully recognize that some people have life-or-death struggles on a daily basis. But I reckon that 99% of the people who have access to these words are struggling in ways that are unproductive, unnecessary, and often self-defeating.
I know that for decades I did exactly that.
Generally, I don't struggle much anymore. My life is nowhere near perfect, but it's a helluva lot more bearable.
So how about you?
In one word, three words, thirteen words, Haiku, limerick, sonnet, or however the fuck you want, how do you not struggle?
Be as concise as possible, but there are NO rules.

It is what it is.
Abandon hope.
Live today.
All one.
Breathe.
