The Grace (or Balls) to Stand

What does it mean to "stand"? It doesn't mean to do nothing, it means you just don't have to fight everything. Change what you can (you have power over only yourself), and then create a new experience and world through your own growth and actions. It takes courage to stand in principles that are fluid. Living according to "rules" (some of whih are only in your head) keeps you stuck and can make you feel worse as you try to control these rules, other people, and their adherence to these rules (from their OWN forms of control). Power over yourself enables you to stand and wait on nature to provide answers. They WILL come...In the meantime, be responsible for adhering to energies instead of pushing against energy that cannot be moved by you alone. The greatest power of hope is in love acceptance and knowing.
