In our twenties we have conflicts. We think everything is either-or, black or white: we are caught between them and we lose all our energy in the conflicts. My answer, later on in maturity, was to do them all. Not to exclude any, not to make a choice. I wanted to be everything. And I took everything in, and the more you take in, the more strength you find waiting to accomplish things and to expand your life, instead of the other {which is what we have been taught to do} which is to look for structure and to fear change, above all to fear change. Now I didn't fear change.
In our younger years, particularly in our twenties, we often find ourselves embroiled in conflicts, perceiving the world in a simplistic either-or fashion. This struggle drains our energy as we grapple with competing choices and opinions. However, as we mature, our perspective can shift significantly. Instead of feeling compelled to choose one path, we can embrace a more inclusive approach that allows us to explore multiple possibilities and experiences simultaneously.
By adopting this mindset, we can tap into a well of inner strength and broaden our lives rather than restrict ourselves. This shift encourages us to welcome change rather than fear it, moving away from the rigid structures we have been taught to uphold. Ultimately, embracing all aspects of life can lead to fulfillment and personal growth, fostering a healthier, more expansive approach to our existence.
