Learn to bend

Strength isn’t resistance it’s flexibility.

The most resilient things in nature are those that bend with the forces of nature not resisting it.

As humans, our belief that never giving in, fighting and resisting is the cause of our inner suffering.

Peace comes from bending and accepting.

The dilemma of the mind

Today, is day where I nearly said ‘don’t do your blog, you’re tired, it’s been a long day’ and then I thought ‘but it’s nearly 6 years in just 3 days time to complete 6 years of continuous daily blogging!’.

That is my ego…that is me saying ‘must keep going no matter what’. However, I make the rules for my life, so I could just say ‘it’s late and leave it for tomorrow, because I’m writing this for the art, the craft, saying something that matters, not to just tick a box’.

The internal dialogue of the mind will argue this forever, if I let it, or I could just accept I wrote today’s blog, move on.

Nothing matters…it’s only the mind that creates all these dilemmas and drama to worry about.
