God said:
There are times when you look at life as if it were a boxing match. Life -- the boxing champion -- and you, the unsuspecting, punched and knocked out for the count underdog. Then you see yourself carried away from that particular arena to face another match anon whenever life says so.
An area of your life is taken away, and another area left which you desperately want to evade and/or desire at the same time. In any case, you hold on tight and keep your feet where they happen to be. Sometimes you lash at life to stay just where you want it to stay.
You may or may not consciously decide the turns life takes, yet you feel that sooner or later, life socks it to you. Life trips you up and knocks you off your feet. Of course, time and time again, you get up.
It is a good idea to lose the idea that life is something you face. Who wants to face life as if life were a mighty opponent who gets in your way, the same way as you don’t want to face a judge’s gavel or a physician’s needle.
How about viewing life as a friend you meet with and walk along the road with, arm in arm? How about a friend who cares about you and often hears your thoughts and dearly wishes to respond to your wishes?
Your wishes are not separate from your thoughts, voiced or unvoiced. On some level, your thoughts and words are telling life what to deliver to you. You and life are like twins. Life is the twin who knows what you are thinking about and will do everything for you, even displease you if that’s what it takes.
