Making a movement towards the difficult is, clearly, counter intuitive but, for my own part at least, much of my spiritual development had come about as a result of confronting difficult situations. So that’s is this and there is also this desire to learn to overcome fear and discomfort and the best way I think of to do it is by repeatedly putting myself in fearful and uncomfortable circumstances.
I have to admit that this has been tougher than it sounds but, so far, I have made myself proud. May I never shrink from difficult situations if engaging in them could myself myself or others.
