April 11

Isn’t it funny? We tend to fight the need to live by other people’s suggestions for our lives. Somehow we think we have all the answers even when asking for someone else’s help. For some reason, our egos can’t stand the thought that we don’t have the answer. Our pride and disease ("ego” & “ISM”) keep us from receiving the help we need. Albert Einstein said, “Problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them.” So, we must find a new mindset from an outside source. This is, of course, easier said than done. But it must be done if we are going to find a new way to live. Doing it “our way” has not worked, and we must admit to that if we are going to change. No matter how smart or resourceful you are or have been, this is bigger than you. If it wasn’t, you would have found a way to overcome it on your own already. Do yourself the biggest favor: surrender.

Reflections

Do you know what you need to do? If you still have the answers, then you probably aren’t ready to listen to someone else.

Daily Challenge

You can “Rage Against the Machine” all you want, but maybe, today, you can do what they tell you.
