Force

"Not everything that is forced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is forced." James Baldwin

It's unusual to have a meditation that discusses force. But force is a reality. Every day of our lives we are dealing with pressures-some good, some not so good. 

* The pressure to find employment or improve our finances. 

* The pressure to deal with an awkward relationship. 

* The pressure to go see the doctor about a pain that has been nagging us for months. 

* The pressure about what to do in retirement. Pressure and force are aspects of life that are ever present but rarely discussed. Today we will face them.

I accept the necessary pressures that are in my life.
