Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Dear Michael, You asked, in so many words, how we surmount the obstacles in our lives brought on by having to live in body/minds. This is so important to ask, because when we study ourselves, we see only how weak and helpless we are, how angry and conflicted the ego in each of us is. Without self-honesty, how will there be growth? One of my chief obstacles is anxiety; I have had it all of my life. No matter how hard I try, it will not go away. So I have to live in spite of it. It keeps me from socializing when It would do me good. I try to think the anxiety away and it is still there! I rarely confess it, but I am telling you, Dear Michael. Lately I have been coming to terms with being an introvert. I had rather be in silence than in noise and that is the way God made me, so some of our weaknesses are built in. There are introverts and extroverts in this world. I try to witness my weaknesses and how I try to rise above them. I almost never do Life goes on, fraught with difficulty and suffering. Only waking up solves anything, so I try to wake up a little each day. Beyond that, what can I do? With love, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
