Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The first step to happiness is to accept things as they are. Do not bring disappointment upon yourself by imposing ideals on people and circumstances, recognize that these are the cards that you’ve been dealt. After you accept your situation, you will be able to be at peace with your current state. Then only can you clearly see what you ought to do to achieve what you want. Accepting things is like waiting for a puddle of rippling water to settle in order for you to see what’s underneath, rather than adding to the dissonance of the water by using force; that would only make it harder for you to see through the moving waters.
