I realize that letting go of struggle is a part of the positive path.
But since struggle is where people tend to get there sense of meaning from, it's been rather difficult to let go of.
So how does one address this issue?
EDIT: Sorry I didn't think to put a question mark at the end of the title. Kind accidentally bait-and-switched y'all with that. You probably expected I HAD some tips. Sorry for the confusion.
Practice letting go of other goals in any situation, and making finding love inside yourself for all concerned your primary goal.
Struggle is about wanting external reality to be in some way other than it is. Spiritual growth is about meeting external reality as it is, with love.
If you shift your focus away from struggling against circumstances (which are mostly not under your control) to, instead, finding love as your primary goal, the struggle lessens automatically because 1) love feels amazing, 2) the capacity to find love is 100% under your control.
Does that make sense?
