"What we resist, persists" quote by Carl Jung

This quote has really helped me.  When I added it as my email signature a few people responded asking if it was specifically for them.

I think many people can relate to this idea.  For me, I have been plagued with a real fighter in my mind.  I refer to it as my "lawyer mind" or "great debater".

When I fight things - my feelings - my situations - my thoughts - things out of my control, they will persist.  When I am simply paying attention, acknowledging life, thoughts, obsessions -  not resist them and have a compassionate attitude towards and around these things....I simply do better.

We believe what we tell ourselves; we are constantly attracting more like thoughts...more like behaviors...more like outcomes or consequences.  When I get "caught up" in resisting things, it has certainly proven (in my life) to persist.

Today, I will try and stop fighting.  I will try and have little judgement, greater acceptance and patience.
