I really love your wisdom Avanti. It feels like nothing can hurt you. I admire your strength and hope that you have been keeping well.
I am keeping well Rouky, thank you for dropping by.
Things can and do hurt me, I am now choosing whether they affect me in my course through remaining calm at all times. what I have to be careful of is bottling stuff up so I don't explode as I have done in the past. Now that I see every situation as only have the meaning I give it, I allow myself to not build up pressure inside.
It is taking focus and concentration as it is a new habit, that's what we are here to do right, change for the better?

Sounds like you are doing well my friend xx
Sotto, thank you for your kind words, it is good to know that how I feel is what's showing.
You are right the proverb is in some ways about no resistance, it's also about choosing how we see situations, there are two or more sides, it's up to us to choose the most positive one, rather than what can be the easy one, that's all too often the negative view.
