Standing in Resistance

Sometimes I feel like an unruly two year old in my conversations with Spirit.  “ NO! NO! NO! I don’t wanna!”  This past week Spirit pointed out to me how my inner toddler has come out to play surrounding a situation I’ve been unhappy with.  I have to laugh at myself when these moments of insight come and the mirror is being held up for me to see just how much resistance I’ve been putting up.
 
My great ah-ha this week is that by being in resistance I am prolonging the situation I do not wish to be in.  Once I learn what Spirit has sent me here to learn, only then will I be able to move out of the situation onto the path I’ve seen coming.  I’ve been so eager to move onto what I know is coming, that I forgot that to take the steps immediately in front of me.  I forgot that I need to crawl before I can learn to walk, then run.  I was wanting to run, when I didn’t have the fundamental skills necessary for the task.

Thank you Spirit for showing me how necessary learning the fundamentals are.  I feel a great weight lifted now that I understand why I am still in the situation I am in.  Time to buckle down and learn what I am here to learn.
 
The truth as I know it, is that we would rarely choose continue to learn and to grow if we were comfortable all the time.  It is in the times of our greatest discomfort, that we have the most incentive to make the necessary improvements to better ourselves.  What is uncomfortable in your life?  What are you are learning from the situation so that you do not have to continue the pattern?
