What you resist, persists!

One of the bigger truths of life...that I heard for the first time in an Art-of-Living course, and have kept with me. It is the truth that the more you resist something/someone, the more it persists. The only way is to stop resisting it...it stops persisting. So simple...

Doesn't quite work though. As mortals, it is in human nature to keep thinking of the past, more so of events that were not good rather than the good ones, more of the sad events than the happy ones. We say that we have left our past behind, but we never truly do. There are those moments that keep coming back. Those people whom we can never forget. The betrayals that we can never get over. Life moves on, but do we allow it to?

Many would say that time is the biggest healer of all. I don;t think so. Time may heal the wounds, but what about the scars? Everytime you look at the scars, the pain comes back..and hits you the hardest when you least expect it to.

Which brings me back to the title of this post....stop looking at the scars, they say. There is no point in thinking of the hurt that is now past.

But isn't it our past that shapes our future? Don;t the mistakes of our past become lessons for the future?

Stop resisting...my mind says...

but alas, the heart is deaf...

and dumb, and blind....

it only feels....sorrow n pain....anger n hurt....

and on those lucky days...some happiness...some smiles....

it wants to see light..but alas ... it doesn;t wish to realize...

it is forever blind!!

Pretending that anger, hurt, sorrow doesn't exist when you are feeling it, is deluding yourself. If you feel it, it exists. The point is to understand it and learn to transend it, accept it, deal with it, forgive it, let it go. Our emotions are messengers signalling that something is wrong. When we go underneath these emotions and find our core truth about the issue, then we can transend it. I believe if you pretend something doesn't exist, like your anger, when it does, then it will persist--because it's a messenger.

We are all, to a certain extent, the cumulative of our collective experiences, but it is in fact possible to "create" your future with complete disregard for the past, if you really want to. Choose to move on, and you will.

A great way to get men and women keen on your portable advertising campaign is so it will be exciting and fun. Many individuals will appear via their cell phone when they are expecting something diffrent, just like a coach or a workout. If you are able to nevertheless market your merchandise, and offer your potential customers something to perform at the same time, you can find more productivity from your mobile marketing.

Don't be in this rush to get the meals down your throat. Pace yourself. When you eat slowly and enjoy your meals, you simply will not only value what you are actually having, but also the likelihood of you eating too much are more unlikely. The human brain knows your abdomen is whole after having ingested just a solitary part, as opposed to after ingesting adequate meals for several people [url=http://www.xxxw12woo.info]phil56r[/url]
