Futile Challenges to the Inevitable

Stony paths end as does any trail and the awareness that it is so can soothe the suffering flesh in times of hardship. As time goes by, things always change, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, so staying the same is not possible despite all illusions to the contrary. When we can accept this and just go with the flow, it becomes effortless and painless; when we fight it, we resist and resistance brings pain and suffering.

Accept the inevitable and move on with grace, for you will be blessed with peace of mind and an interesting array of often pleasurable experiences. Resist and all potential for enjoyment is gone, yet nothing can prevent its impact, so why resist when it is so utterly futile? It makes no sense, yet so many of us do so nearly all the time. What a pitiful waste of energy and opportunity!

As I write these words, I see in them a reminder for me, for accepting the course of events in my business including the probably long time frame before its potential is to be fully realised, for doing what feels right in the meantime to the best of my ability and and for leaving the rest in the hands of the universe, for it knows best and only it can see the bigger picture always, for when we purport to fight the inevitable, we are in reality attempting to challenge the universal consciousness and doubt its loving counsel and guidance. Put that way, it does seem rather silly! So now you see why I rarely fight and, when I do, why I surrender quickly!
