TFTD (again.........)

Frequently, when faced with a problem, we may attempt to solve it in a particular way. When that way doesn't work, we may continue trying to solve the problem in that same way.
We may get frustrated, try harder, get more frustrated, and then exert more energy and influence into forcing the same solution that we have already tried and that didn't work.

That approach makes us crazy. It tends to get us stuck and trapped. It is the stuff that unmanageability is made of.

We can get caught in this same difficult pattern in relationships, in tasks, in any area of our life. We initiate something, it doesn't work, doesn't 'flow', we feel badly, then try the same approach harder, even though it's not working and flowing.

Sometimes, it's appropriate not to give up and to try harder. Sometimes, it's more appropriate to let go, detach, and stop trying so hard.

If it doesn't work, if it doesn't 'flow', maybe life is trying to tell us something. Life doesn't always send neon road signs to guide us. Sometimes, the signs are more subtle. Something not working may be a sign.

Let go. If we have become frustrated by repeated efforts that aren't producing desired results, we may be trying to force ourselves down the wrong path. Sometimes, a different solution is appropriate. Sometimes, a different path opens up. Often, the answer will emerge more clearly in the quietness of letting go than it will in the urgency, frustration, and desperation of pushing harder.

Learn to recognize when something isn't working or isn't 'flowing'. Step back and wait for clear guidance.

What they fail to mention is Guidance has it's OWN time frame.

AND they fail to mention who gets the blame for putting this reading in my book.
Darn reading fairies.........

If I thought this was a matter of 'rubber stamping' the lesson of the picnic tables, I'd celebrate. LOL
