Some people don't understand that life is not about them and what they want. So when things don't go their way, they are upset.
But pain and difficulty can be used by a person to grow. Difficulty reminds me that I am not in control. The illusion of my invincible ego is shattered by pain. I am not in charge. There is something bigger than me.
Don't fight God over something that you don't like, fall into God.
Release yourself from wanting it all to go your way. Don't fight life, enter it. Savor it. Life is a fleeting gift, best lived when we take it all in, the good and the bad. It was never about me and it is always going to be bigger than I am.
Difficulty does not bring the loss of self, but the flowering of it.
Martin Laird
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
