Nonresistance 10/10

[DolphinBlue]

Sometimes its worse to win a fight than to lose.
-Billie Holiday

Our struggles with other people always take their toll on us. They often push us to behavior we're not proud of. They may result in irreparable rifts. They frequently trigger an emotional relapse. No battle is worth the damage to the psyche that nearly any battle can cause. Nonresistance is the safer way to chart our daily course.

Bowing with the wind, flowing with the tide, eases the steps we need to take, the steps that will carry us to our personal fulfillment. Part of the process of our growth is learning to slide past the negative situations that confront us, coming to understand that we are in this life to fulfill a unique purpose. The many barriers that get in our way can strengthen our reliance on God if we'll let them. We need never be thwarted by people or situations. We will profit from taking all experiences in our stride. The course we travel is the one we chart. The progress we make toward our life goals is proportionate to the smoothness of our steps.

I will flow with the tide. It will assuredly move me closer to my destination.

Another good one! Again to me saying that I should learn from my life, good and bad, and take that with me each day.

Thanks, Dolphin.

Exactly what I needed to hear tday. I have the flu, but have been resisting it for a week, by going to work, to meetings and trying to ignore it. I crashed today at a meeting and now I´m home in bed with lemon tea and infusions. It´s boring for me because I need to be always on the go, otherwise I get depressed, but now I surrender. The depression just has to take care of itself.

I wish I could take the same attitude as someone I know at my AA meeting. He got the flu, but he mthanked his Higher Power for giving him the privilege to fight it and embrace it.

Use adversity
