Opposition is a key to success in life
Good Morning, it is a wonderfully, chilly fall day. The contrast is needed so that we can appreciate the spring and summer warmth.
Opposition is a great key to success. Opposition and its root word opposite is something that is hostile , contrary, or is against what we seek or desire . Opposition lets us know we are moving in a better direction. It doesn't seem that way at the time, but if we can use the lessons we learn during the situation and make ourselves stay in the moment, and reach for the best feeling thought we can find, then the situation will pass. It always does. We will then in the next moment receive something good.
Do you notice that during a football game the quarterback is the team leader. He sets the tone of the game. As a play begins the other teams (the opposition) job is to get the quarterback. Why, because they know that if they can get him to make a mistake or lose his control or composure they have a better chance of winning. The great quarterbacks know this also, and they transcend the moment. Staying focused on creating success. For them it is to make a play that drives their team down the field to score.
The great coach Vince Lombardi said,"Mental toughness is the ability to hold on to your goals in the face of the pressure and stress of the current reality."
This is what it takes to move continuously toward our goals and dreams of success in life. It is easy to give up and let the issue of the moment take over and drag us back into the way we have always lived and done things. I have found that as I grow mentally and spiritually I can not respond the same way I used to when there is opposition. There is a calm that I now experience that is joyous to me. When others look for the usual response to their ciaos, it isn't there. I know that the most important thing is that I continue to feel good in the moment. Then it passes and I am in the next moment. The next moment is better than the one before and it keeps getting better and better.
As we experience our life we will have opposition it is the nature of our dual universe. We have a better experience when we are aware and choose to experience joy no matter what. Those things that we have no control over, like other people's thoughts and actions we have to let it go and then we must choose to feel good intentionally.
Micheal Jordan, one of the greatest athletes to play basketball said," If you are trying to achieve, there will be road blocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
When we face opposition we must embrace it for the valuable teacher that it is. It is a sure sign that if we are aware that it exist and we can move through it with mental toughness, choosing to respond joyfully, not with anger or fear, then we are successful and our lives are meaningful and we are trusting our higher power that is within us to guide us rather than our ego driven emotions. Respond with love to that which opposes your goal. Do it daily in each moment. It will keep getting better and better.
