How to remove SUFFERING

Have you wondered what causes pain? While problems are in everyone's life. There is not a single person who doesn't have any problem, yet only few people go through pain. Why is it so? You must have heard this saying: Problem is inevitable, suffering is optional. Why. Why suffering is optional?
There is only 1 word that causes pain in your life. Only because of this 6 letter word, you go through the suffering. Wanna know what that word is. Its EXPECT. Suffering/Pain is what? When you lose your composure, when you are not centered, that means you are suffering. Why does this happen? You expect things to be in a certain way. You expect a person to behave in a manner, you expect things to happen your way... you expect this.. you expect that; and when it doesn't happen the way you want, you suffer!
Now what to do if you don't wanna suffer? Its very simple. Just change the 6 letter word with another 6 letter word - ACCEPT. Instead of expecting, start Accepting! You lose your composure, because you are not ready to accept things/people/situations as they are! Once you accept, you are free. You should say: Ok this is how I wanted it to be, it didn't happen. Its ok! Then work towards it. This way you will be in the right frame of mind, centered and will be able to deal things well.
If you ask me what is the magical word in our life. I would say its Accept. If you ask me what is the other name of GOD, I would say its 'accept!'
There are 2 ways to stop the suffering in your life:
First is: Don't expect at all. Don't expect a surrounding to be quiet. Don't expect someone to love as much as you love them. Don't expect a person to behave in the manner you want! Once you don't expect, everything comes to you as a surprise! But once it comes, accept that too. If joy comes as a surprise, accept. If problems come by surprise, accept. Accept and move ahead.
Second is: Expect, but Accept too. I expected this to happen as I wanted. It didn't. ok. Now what. Accept and move ahead.
Any method is fine. But only Accepting can remove your problem of expecting!
Once you have accepted this piece of knowledge, your life will be free from suffering! :)
