the only person you're fighting is yourself.

"...The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun...
...you are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living. My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you're fighting is YOURSELF and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances." (Alex McCandles letter to Ron Franz)

learning to accept change is at most times the hardest thing to do. but from what i've been through, there is no greater relief than ACCEPTANCE. "God has placed it all around us." i guess, sometimes we're all so caught up in our own lives, that we forget to stop and see what blessings God has surrounded us with.
