RESISTANCE
I have learned that whatever I resist, persists.
Whatever I try to run away from is always there. Because I am looking at it as I run away, so it is always on my mind.
This may sound weird, but if I really want to stop thinking about something, I need to stop trying to stop thinking about that thing.
Instead, fill my mind with something else.
Because if I try to stop thinking about something, where is my focus???
It's on that thing!!!
So instead, I focus on what I DO want, not what I DON'T want.
This is true for everything in life.
It NEVER works to run away from something I DON'T want.
It only works to run TOWARD what I DO want.
