Topic: Facing Adversity Instead Of Running Away

Have you ever wondered why you can't get away from your problems and adversities? You can run away from everything and run away from everyone except yourself and God. You cannot run away from God because God lives within you. You cannot run away from yourself because you carry yourself with yourself everywhere you go. To achieve victory in life, you must not run away from your adversities, but face your adversities head on. To forcefully face your adversities head on, you must learn to put your mental and spiritual adversities outside yourself. Because you cannot run away from yourself or God, better to live from the inside out, rather than from the outside in. If you live from the outside in, then wherever you go, you permit these outside adversities to come inside of your life. Living from the outside in is the weak way of living because you bring the outside adversities inside of you and you are then weakened. Living the weak way has no escape. We conquer the adversities inside of us by taking our adversities and putting our adversities outside of us where the adversities belong. To achieve victory, you must stay within yourself. To achieve victory you must remain strong rather than letting the outside adversities come inside of you to weaken you. If you let your outside adversities come inside of you and you then let your inside adversities control you because the inside adversities are inside of you, the only way to try to get away from your internal adversities is to run away. However, you cannot really run away from what you carry inside of you. To get away from your inside or outside adversities, you can pretend your inside or outside adversities do not exist. However, pretending your inside adversities do not exist does not help. Most of the time, pretending our inside or outside adversities do not exist only makes things worse. Pretending is the opposite of believing. Pretending our adversities do not exist is lying. Pretending our adversities do not exist, used in the place of believing we have power over our adversities, only leads to a further piling on of our difficulties.
