What you resist persists. Carl Jung
Hello, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing about this subject again. As Life is the most patient and consistent teacher; this lesson is presented to me once again; providing me with yet another opportunity to perfect this weakness in myself. Again I experience that resisting the emotions that come with living create dysfunction. In a conversation with a friend just yesterday we talked about if we'd simply surrender ourselves to our faith that we will be where we need to be, in situations providing opportunity to grow and that we'll know what to do in the situation presented to us we would walk boldly forward accepting what presents itself as is without resistance. If I could do this I could minimize the infusion of my negative, fearful thoughts.
If in times of struggle I would accept our struggle feeling it, accepting it. Resistance would diminish, whatever lesson is available to learn I could accept it and move on to whatever life presents next. Carl Jung also said "There can be no transformation of darkness into light and apathy into movement without emotion." Ah, "feeling" is important or I guess imperative, not simply reasoning!!!
I allow my times of struggle to weaken my faith, weaken my confidence and I respond to fear and doubt which paralyzes my movement forward. When what I need to do connect to hope and faith inspiring my movement forward, allowing emotion flow and process freeing me for what life will present next.
Again, as a work in progress, I work to grow.
Anything you'd like to share?
Love you all,
Jacky
