Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26620451 Ive been on it, still am on it, and sometimes I wonder why the hell I'm on it. But its worth it in the end. That's what I tend to think as well. But I still ponder a life with less resistance. Everything works out in the end. If that weren't true you wouldn't be on it still. |

Be it a car, house, clothes whatever, quality costs more and will take you longer to get. But do you really just want that cheap and easy to grab rust bucket for the long term? Same applies to people ;o). |

Even if the resistance is overcome, the light will burn out quickly. I would suppose one should walk the path on their own terms. How much resistance is too much? I guess only we might know for ourselves. Certainly others attempting to tell us only makes matters worse... |

Ponder, what is it, in you, that is resisting the biological urge, the biological NEED to breath? Pranayamas Is it your soul? Is it your mind? Is your willpower? Is it just an idea, or an intention? And by this means can we train our power of will? Holding the breath to strengthen the willpower, mind, and soul is a whole fucking science in fact. It's called. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28008747 United States 12/12/2012 08:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lived a while with, I guess, a "high resistance" path. Having an option to re-choose, I remember being given the impression that resistance is a luxury, like a ride in an amusement park. So an easy path would not have been bad either. But I wanted some of the experience of resistance still, so I opted for frequent medium challenge rather than blockbusters, and that is what I seem to be getting now. It's all just experience, I guess if I have this one now I have different ones later, and/or maybe I can learn from this one. |

Character is for real men, real men doing real ass thing like being real alphas and doing real shit, building character and all Well I am a real man, married with a family. As for being a real alpha, I don't know, things seem more complicated than that, though I can act on occasion if I remind myself, e.g. before going to a party. My challenges currently seem to involve remaining calm in situations that tend to evoke emotion, such as when teachers are being unfair to one of my children in school. Getting hot about it doesn't help; coldly and strategically acting is needed. (One tenured administrator has now "opted to retire" after giving me shit.) So I don't know if that's "being alpha" or not, but the process felt more like a chess match than a chest-beating contest. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 28008747 United States 12/12/2012 09:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well nobody tries to take the path of most resistance. Some of us just end up feeling that way. Usually it comes from wanting to see the world just a little more clearly. Maybe there's a little warning voice that can steer you away from the directions that won't work out well as you pursue what you seek. Because I am sure God wants you to succeed in seeing the world clearly. |
