fighting life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lesson….
Ever notice how all of nature seems to harmonize “together” as a flow? And while we have this great God-given example right in our face, we often continue Resisting life thru our manipulative attempts to railroad it into our plan.
Hold on now!! You mean I can’t get upset or mad?

Of course you can. Get mad! I'm a big fan of a good healthy anger. Let your anger propel you into action! As with anything, let it SERVE you not hinder you. But allowing anger to fester into resentment...now that's a life-sapper! And that's not what you and I are after. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Quality of life? Fulfillment, joy, peace?

What we fight Gets Bigger. What we make peace with loses its grip over us and sets us up to deal with it more constructively. It’s our fighting it that fuels it and gives it power over us.

This is one of the most powerful yet misunderstood parts of my work. I want you to catch this nugget of gold. I'm not advocating to "roll over" and play dead with your own upset or with the thing you're fighting. "Accepting what is" has nothing to do with agreeing with it or even liking it!

Notice how YOUR RESISTING of life is unknowingly fueling the very things you don't want. We can grow & change out of LOVE, or we can grow & change out of FEAR. Life is continually inviting each of us to “let go” and get back to love. Back to God. Back to dancing with life vs. wrestling with it.


Consider someone or something in your life you're resisting right now. Your spouse, your child, your parent, your job, your habits, your morales, with ANYTHING. If you don’t LIKE it, your choices are simple:

REACT to it with UPSET;

or

RESPOND to it, Accepting that it is, and in that mindset effectively deal with it & move past it.

Life is continually trying to teach us and hone us. We have a choice to either FLOW with the lessons or FIGHT against them. Work with life rather than against it. Learn from the adversities, listening to their messages about yourself. This life is about Loving yourself back to WHO YOU ARE vs. shaming yourself into WHOM YOU SHOULD BE.
