I can spot the issue that needs attention from me by what is appearing most in my life at the time. Right now that is acceptance – of me by others and of others by me. What I really need to focus on is accepting myself and not worrying about the rest of the world. If I can look inward and not judge myself perhaps then I can look outward and feel true acceptance.

Accept Yourself
I can spot the issue that needs attention from me by what is appearing most in my life at the time. Right now that is acceptance – of me by others and of others by me. What I really need to focus on is accepting myself and not worrying about the rest of the world. If I can look inward and not judge myself perhaps then I can look outward and feel true acceptance.

Resistance
“Resistance is Futile” said the Borg from Star Trek and they are right. The more I try to fight something the worse it gets.
Once I relinquish my opposition the conflict ends and everything smooths out. This does not mean standing in the middle of the road waiting to get run over but it does mean not trying to force something one way or the other.
Just like those Chinese finger puzzles we used to play with as kids. The harder you try to pull the tighter they get. As soon as you relax they slip right off… That is a good lesson for me to remember!
