How can one keep the mind calm, joyful, and enthusiastic while living in the world?

True calm and joy emerge not from resisting your present state, but from embracing it fully; in acceptance, even sorrow transforms into silence and enthusiasm.

— Osho
According to Osho, true calm, joy, and zest arise when you stop fighting your present state and consent to destiny—whatever is, is. Do not seek the opposite of unrest or sadness; the urge to change only multiplies turmoil. Simply allow restlessness or sorrow without resistance; in wholehearted acceptance they dissolve, and silence, lightness, and natural enthusiasm appear on their own.

When you feel upset, don’t force it away—say yes to it, and it softens by itself, leaving you peaceful and happy.
