Day 307 – When Forces Conspire

Do you have days when it feels like all the forces of the universe are conspiring against you? I felt that way today. What do you think when this happens? Do you think it is a sign that you are on the wrong path? Perhaps you think it is an indication that you are about to achieve something great – and the evil forces have chosen to unite against you to make a last ditch effort to stop you?

I think it is a true concept about life. Life by its very nature is a representation of struggle. Life survives in a harsh environment by striving, straining, and stretching itself to push through the top soil and reach the sunlight. We have opposition because that is just what it is. Opposition is inherit in all things with life. So when you reach opposition you are seeing the exact response to the amount of effort you put in.

So push harder, get resistance. Push a little more and break through. Welcome to true living.
