Sober Hedonism Principle 2: Acceptance

“What about when life is hard?” The New Boss asked.  “How are you supposed to practice sober hedonism then?”

“By not making it worse,” I said. “Sober hedonists minimize pain by accepting some things are gonna suck.  I had a really good first sponsor who told me the more people you love, the more funerals you go to.  He wasn’t just talking about funerals, though.  The more you’re engaged in life, the more of life’s difficulties you encounter. Stay engaged anyway.”

Today I will accept life’s difficulties.
