Fighting...

"When you fight something, you're tied to it forever. As long as you're fighting it, you're giving it power." -- Anthony de Mello

It sucks when my mother was right! I remember hearing this many, many, many,many times over and over again! Maybe not those words but the concept is the same. And, it is sooooooo true!

So what do I give power and try to fihgt? Fear, anger, self-doubt, loathing. All those things I try to push down and don't want to recognize. If I acknowldge the feelings, I can at least work through them. I am getting a little better (wiser perhaps?) about recognizing the feelings before I become a total grump.
