Accepting negative life events can reduce suffering and lead to growth.

“If something bad is happening in your life, then bring it on. Bring it on. Just like the gym, you know, somebody rejected you, your beloved. I thought I was going to marry her and and turns out she loves somebody else. That's the gym. That's the the emotional gym. Your dorsal interior single cortex is going crazy. You're like, I invited that. I invite this and that's your resistance actually falling and your suffering will actually fall paradoxically even while your pain is high and that's where you will actually learn and grow and find your meaning.”
