What do you think about Taoism.

I have accepted not being able to fly. This was my source of income as well as a lifelong passion.
I have accepted not being able to play the bass. A BIG deal!
I have accepted that I’m now a disabled person, moving around is now more like walking in syrup, it’s a pain at times.

I think you've coped very well, Stan ! That deserves great credit. What you're saying here, though is that you've learnt to accept what fate has dealt you which is not the same as saying yes to everything.

For what it's worth, I don't think Spira actually meant people to take it literally. But I don't think you need Spira or anybody else to guide you.
