“Acceptance is what you see among children. That’s why they’re always happy, with  smiling faces. The childlike innocence is in you always. Remember that. So, leave it to God: ‘God, whatever you do is fine for me.’ Accept God’s ways. Never, ever complain. If God gives something, accept it. If God doesn’t give, accept it. Rise above the likes and dislikes, wants and don’t wants. Then, you can be happy, always. Nobody wants to be unhappy. So don’t create unhappiness in your life. The simple way to be always happy is to accept everything: profit or loss, pain or pleasure, praise or blame. Nobody needs to give you happiness. It is your own. You are happy, but if you want to make yourself unhappy, go ahead until you learn to be happy.

-Sri Swami Satchidananda
