Much of our resistance may be unnecessary, without reason and not helpful to our situation?<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://thelessonsinlove.com/archives/821' addthis:title='Resistance Causes Pain '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>To resist or not to resist, that is the question?</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course we want to resist a virus or a disease; there are many things we<br />
do not want or need in our life. We should resist temptations that could kill<br />
us or do harm.<a href="http://thelessonsinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0027.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-824" title="IMG_0027" src="http://thelessonsinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0027-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>However, when do we really need to resist or defend?</strong> Most of life will go quite<br />
well, if we do not resist the process of love in ourselves or others.</p>
<p>Much of our resistance may be unnessary, without reason and not helpful<br />
to our situation?</p>
<p>Have you resisted the length of the day? Do you resist the morning<br />
when you awake? Do you resist the sun when it goes down?</p>
<p><strong>Do you resist the ride to work? Do you resist your life in any way?</strong></p>
<p>Why not give in to the fact that we live, that we are alive? Why not give in to the fact<br />
that we love and accept?</p>
<p>Resistance, as a frame of mind, is rarely required. Resistance to our nature of giving<br />
can strangle our life.</p>
<p><strong>Resistance to the love of our soul, mind and heart can make our life short and ill defined.</strong></p>
<p>Why resist when resistance is not required?</p>
<p>Why not give yourself to love in an open way, not resisting who you are?</p>
<p>By nature, we are open, loving and giving&#8230; it is the way we are designed.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Give in to life and the best of who you are; why resist?</strong></p>
