Take a pen and a sheet of paper. Go outside and sit somewhere under a tree or stay at his Desk and make a list of things that can make you happy right now: the clouds in the sky, the flowers in the garden, children playing, ... your boyfriend or girlfriend sitting in the next room, your eye still has good vision.

In order to enjoy tea, you need to fully awaken to the present time. Only realizing now, you can feel the warmth of the Cup in his hands. Only this time, you can enjoy its aroma, taste, delicacy and refinement.
If You're dwelling on the past or worry about the future, we will miss the experience of enjoying tea. You will look at the Cup, but did not notice in her tea. Life is exactly the same. If You are not in it completely, it will pass. You miss the feeling, the scent, the colors and the beauty of life. It would seem that she's slipping away from You. The past is over. Learn from it and let go. The future is even and there. Build plans for it, but don't waste your time worrying about it. Anxiety about the future is useless.

When you plant lettuce, but it grows poorly, you do not blame the lettuce. You look for the cause. You may need more fertilizer or more water, or less sun. But you won't blame the lettuce.

Neither the indictment nor the reasoning, nor arguments, just understanding. If you know and you can show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
