It took a while to realize that I was resisting an unwanted change. An unwanted change is always painful, but resisting it causes suffering. I am learning that whenever I resist or have to deal with situations that I didn't like or want in the first place, I become miserable.
Life is full of choices, but most often our choices are not unconditional. I realize that whenever I carry resentment , frustration, or anger, I hurt myself. The negative feelings might have been meant for somebody else, or maybe just for the situation we are in , but it spills over and affects me more than anybody else. There is no winning in holding resentment, no winning in feeling helpless.
I am learning the art of patience, I am learning that everything takes time and it is wiser to just go with the flow. The more I resist, the more I suffer. It is not easy to not feel trapped, it might be a relationship, it might be a job or it might just be your health issue. But the fact remains, that the more we struggle to set free, the more we get entangled .
We all need our own stress busters, our own little stories that we tell ourselves to feel better. It might be lies, it might just be illusionary, but we all need some glimmer of hope for a better day. I find that a hike on an unknown trail - makes my head clearer. You don't know where your destination is , you don't know what you will encounter next, all you do know is that you have to keep on moving forward, one step at a time.
Life is what we make it to be ... how we see it. Keep the internal hope alive, keep the innocence alive and above all let not tough situations and negative people embitter you. You are victorious if you don't let your heart be toughened by what life throws at you. Dust the heart free of all negativity, shine it with love and soldier on .Life is beautiful if you feel beautiful.
