Resistence vs. Acceptance

To go against vs. To go with... Since circumstances change we can't always be one way or the other. Discernment and flexibility are essential life companions. There are some days that I resist the lie and resist the truth. Other days, I accept the lie and accept the truth. What is the truth? What is the lie? U establish that for you, but for goodness sake be honest with you about you. Learning ourselves helps us know others. Or, should I say human nature. None of us are perfect. But we can always become better... Do we accept the truth of who we are, or do we resist it? Do we accept our strengths and weaknesses, or do we resist them?

I read last night that the people we love as well as the people we hate inform us of who we are. We see the best of ourselves (love) and the worst of ourselves (hate) in others. We contain it all...some parts we accept (love) and acknowledge AND other parts we resist (hate/fear). It's all contained in us...why else would we have such extreme reactions to others around us?

When we learn and accept what makes us who we are we can accept the same in others.
