Life as an Apparent Paradox

It is a Paradox. 

So often, everything that we would want is on another side of what we resist.

If you want to build muscles, you need to exercise and break those muscles down. If you afraid to speak in public, public speaking is last thing that you want to do. But that is exactly what you need, to become better at communicating. If you wish to build something, the only way is to build it and fail at it while building it.

There's that feeling of not wanting to do it. That feeling of dread before facing it. And yet, the very thing we escape is the path forward. It feels like an internal conflict. 

The paradox that peace comes not by avoiding struggle, but by facing it. If you're strong enough to fight, you rarely have to. Strength itself quiets the need to prove it.

In the end, whatever you're seeking in life, is on the other side of what you're avoiding. And if you stumble, think of Failure as rerouting signal - guiding you towards the better way.
