Stop Fighting
I'm always struggling and fighting. I struggled and fought to hold on to the job, I'm fighting to hold on to relationships. I'm always fighting my partner or my parents, to be a certain way. I'm fighting to maintain my fixed agenda, I'm always fighting change.
I fight to get people to understand me. I fight to get my body a certain way. I'm fighting to make money, and to avoid failure. Always striving for that next success. I'm fighting to be what I think I should be. Trying to be, what I think others, think I should be.
All this fighting hardens me, it contracts me, and makes me sick. Fighting has to do with getting. And a get state of mind is not a receptive state of mind. When I have a get mentality, I often get gotten. But when I surrender and stop fighting, I can receive. If I surrender to not-knowing, and am able to delay my need for instant gratification, I'm able to create the space I need to learn. Learning to be patient with myself is a gift that keeps on giving.
As always thanks for visiting. Dave

Dave,
Trying to be someone we are not is a struggle that many
people deal with daily. I have learned with maturing that
I am who I am and if people do not like who I am sorry I
am too old to change that now - and honestly, I do not
want to :)
I have always been a giving person helping who ever
whenever I can this is just me.
Be who you are and want to be and the giving side is
much better because in the end, it comes back to you
10 times over :)

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry I didn't get back sooner.

Dave,
I think you are still fighting with yourself and need to stop
just let all the negativity go and enjoy life as it comes our
senior years are for doing what we want to do and not caring
what others have to say or think - the best advantage yet
to aging, I can think of LOL
