When you fight against something, or someone, you give that thing life and power. Your mind is turned toward the enemy, and as you think on the enemy you feed it. It grows in its power over you. It becomes obsessive.
What if you look in the mirror, admit you're a 105 pound weakling, admit defeat and leave off the fighting.
If you ignore a thing...it doesn't exist, has no power.
The road to peace leads through self-acceptance.
A silly story: When I turned 21, I decided to become a millionaire by 24. At 23 I realized my "plan" was failing. So I threw out the millionaire dream, and decided I would become a Failure instead. I have succeeded at being a failure beyond my wildest dreams. Examine your goals and expectations; they may be unrealistic and beyond your reach.
True story: My dogs, my best friends, have both died. No one in my family wants to talk to me. I am utterly alone. And I am old. I look at my situation and realize I am just sitting here waiting to die. Not good. I need to serve others, live life...not wait for the grave to swallow me.
So, off I go to Mexico. Another adventure.
Many years ago I realized how weak I am. I knew I couldn't fight it; my weakness is stronger than I am. So I accepted (embraced) the weakness and turned my life over to a higher power. Now, when I need strength, I have it. The power minds the store.
Think about it. It does no good to blame things on your horoscope. Or your mother. Your life is in your hands.
