Acceptance, not resistance


For there is a time for every experience and for every happening” (Qoheleth 3:17)

Life is received; from God – or Universe (as some would prefer) and destined for a purpose. That purpose has to be discovered because no one has it spelled out when the journey begins and every happening or experience is designed to shape its realization.

When we resist, oppose and even fight certain experiences – because we “do not like them”, they are nasty or unpleasant - we only delay the actualization of life's purpose. There cannot be joy nor fulfillment when life's purpose is not realized.

Life becomes meaningful and satisfying when we discover and pursue its purpose – and do so relentlessly. Do not give up, despair or be discouraged in its quest. Challenges and adversities are to be met and overcome, not avoided, resisted or fought.
