How many compulsions we have to deal with in life on a
regular basis! A lot of energy is lost if we look at them as necessary evils.
To HAVE to do something against our wishes needs an instant infusion of extra
energy in the form of mustering up a little more enthusiasm than we actually
want at that point.
There is heaviness and reluctance and a need to just become
invisible so that there is no compulsion foisted on us.
But actually, that compulsion could be pushing us towards
new experiences which we would be deprived of otherwise. It is like not wanting
new experiences and getting caught in a limited space because we are
comfortable there.
I have realized this fact. And
each time I have surrendered to compulsions, I have gained in one way or
another. Rather than avoid them and miss out on a piece of life. It could be
that the universe wants us to have that experience and that may be the right
time for it. And maybe, we would emerge wiser, better and happier in the
bargain.
