“Resistance is Hell, for it places man in a ‘state of torment.’”
~ Florence Scovel Shinn
Are you feeling tormented, my friend? Well, I suppose there can be varying degrees of torment as at some level we’re all resisting something. What might you be resisting?
I have learned that hiding behind that thing I’m resisting is the very thing I want. It’s almost as if the thing I’m resisting is some sort of test or lesson I need to learn before I can have what I want.
So next time you notice that you’re feeling tormented, my friend, even if only slightly, ask yourself what you’re resisting and embrace it, or at least face it, and notice what happens. At the very least the torment will be gone.
