Surrender the mind.

Hope is an antidote to despair; a medicine of the divine healer to keep ourselves prepared for what is coming. The frustration and grief accumulated in the present moment takes away our capacity to create a beautiful future for ourselves. It clouds our hearts and binds ourselves to a repetitive loop of sadness and multiplicity of similar occurrences. Simply because we allow our fears to blindfold ourselves. We cannot see the beauty, the fulfillment that awaits us. It restrains us from following the divine plan.
There are two choices a human being can make in the course of different good and bad events of his life. One is to take charge, believe that we are responsible for setting everything right, to create happiness and fulfillment for ourselves. By allowing ourselves the delusion that we are the doers.  The cause and creation of all events in our lives. It gives us the power to exercise our will and direct the circumstances of our life. It has several disadvantages, primary disadvantage being the limitation of the mind to truly grasp the cause behind our circumstances and thereby creating any random effect because of the choices that we are making.

The other choice is rather simple, in fact too simple for us to believe, accept and to act in accordance with it. That is to follow the divine plan that is essentially designed to see us through the misery and pain into the realm of joy and consciousness. When we understand that all events good or bad ( which is again just a perception of our mind) are in fact created according to the divine plan. It is up to us to accept, learn from such circumstances and trust the divine to see us through both. 

When we remember to remember the divine in our happy moments, it prepares us to go in a similar manner towards facing hardships, loss, sadness or grief. It helps us to accept what our karmas have generated and put before us as these challenges that we must overcome and rise above. Happier times and circumstances would follow as a natural course.

Everything is cyclical in this universe,  birth follows death and death follows the birth, they are inseparable. Similarly happiness follows grief and grief follows happiness. They are both a certainty, the only thing that is changeable in this arrangement is our choice. When we accept hardships as a part of the bigger plan to resolve the imprints of our past actions from our consciousness; we accept it with open arms  and what follows seems more like floating above the circumstances rather then allowing those severe circumstances to drown us in fear and despair.

Choice is always ours, to accept that everything happens for a good reason and trust that the divine force that is testing our mettle through these hardships would make sure that we are not lost in our own darkness.
Every dark cloud has a silver lining and all silver linings exist to define the dark clouds. It up to us to focus of the light that envelops the darkness or to be lost in the darkness by forgetting that there is ought to be light surrounding the darkness.
