Today, make the decision to practice defenselessness. Each time you
find yourself involved in a discussion in which you feel compelled to
take one side over another or express your opinion in order to sway that
of another person, instead, gently let go of the need to defend your
point of view. Make a commitment to follow the path of no resistance in
other ways throughout your day. Witness how effortlessly your day
unfolds as you practice letting go and accept things just as they are.
At Robert Kiyosaki's 3 day Rich Dad event this summer, JW said something that I always remember and repeat often. I'll have to paraphrase as I don't remember his exact words but he said "We lose our power every time we defend ourselves. When we stop needing to defend ourselves, that is how we sustain our power." I'm reminded of this lesson today with the mindful moment offered by Deepak & Oprah for Day 3 of this meditation challenge.
This is what I shall repeat to myself today....
Follow the path of least resistance. Stop trying to control and manipulate the situation. It may feel uncomfortable and frustrating at first because you're used to being a "go getter" and making things happen exactly how you want it to... but Life is so much easier and more fun following the path of least resistance. Just swim through life effortlessly and joyfully.
I love how Deepak said it in the meditation today... a rose does not "struggle to bloom" it just does. It's time to let myself bloom. :)
