Fast forward a couple of months and what's occurred to me is that we really do create the context for our lives. Put another way, the way circumstances show up for me are only a product of how I relate to them. It's an exercise I've taken on and find that I can let go of this notion that something has to be a struggle. It's only a struggle if I say it is. I'm not suggesting hard work goes away, I'm merely talking about the relationship to the work.<br /><br />From what I've observed, we love to challenge ourselves - mentally and physically. We get something from that - for me, it's the notion that I'm not taking life for granted. Thank you for posting this as it gave me access and a place to share my thoughts.Zeitgeist33https://www.blogger.com/profile/09901296994735096221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256979560451454583.post-50742232396008526162011-03-02T18:13:30.449-08:002011-03-02T18:13:30.449-08:00I am blessed to have an otherwise easy life.

I compare my struggles with those who have not been so blessed, and they seem paltry.<br /><br />My struggles are internal: self-esteem, character, and values. It is a luxury, and sometimes I forget.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209217148907221540noreply@blogger.com
