You
want to change it? Then let it be what it is!
And give it your blessing to STAY what it is as
long as IT chooses to stay. It's your best chance
of witnessing change.
After being around the block a few thousand times
It's clear that my fighting and resisting things
and people in order to bring about a change only
gives it fuel to stay the way it is! And the more
it stays the way it is, the more I want to fight
it! Argh! I've learned the art of INVITING change
vs. trying to MANIPULATE change.
"It takes hard work
to change people and things. It's not easy! I've
got to show my force and my conviction of how
he/she should be! I've got to "help"
them change!
I must show no sign of "being
friends" with the thing I want to change,
because that's just not how you change stuff!"
What or who I'm trying
to change thru my resistance is only making it
dig its heals in more. I've spoken with many a
person who claimed that they were genuinely trying
to "help" their mate stop...smoking
or eating or biting their nails or showing up
late.
The trap we fall into
is when our angelic intent shows up in frustration
and disappointment when change doesn't occur like
we think it should.
What I'm trying to change
thru manipulative efforts, whether it's with my
smiles or with my anger, only further entrenches
the thing I want to change. Yep, I literally chase
away change from the thing I'm wanting to change!
It's Upside
Down!
We’re taught from birth to FIGHT for what
we want and to RESIST & FORCE what we want
changed. Right? And then later life kabooms us
with a two-by-four upside the head with the truth
that love & life don't work by the same rules
as football & ditch-digging! But some of us
don't want to listen
so we try harder.
