The Value of Resistance

5/6/2015

0 Comments

 
I feel  that a person’s life is a great personal and unique experiment.  The experiment is this: how many of the harmful ideas I have accumulated can I eliminate, and how many of the greater ideas can I remember and use?    

The greatest difficulty in accomplishing this is accepting that life on earth is a place to learn the value of resistance, not just a place to whine about it.   

I’ve never liked  the idea of resistance anymore than anyone else does. I have to admit, however, that most of the improvements in my life have come because I finally saw resistance not as a wall, but as a door. It gives us the opportunity to embrace the power we have to choose what we experience.

Accepting the truth of what I just said was not easy or fast. So, don’t expect overnight change to occur in your life. Chip away at the resistance whenever you can. All of us are robotic most of the time, doing the same things over and over with little investment of thought, but it is in those moments of awareness that we can make inroads. It takes time and dedication to increase our awareness, and the greatest power we have is to not give up.
