You can object: “I don’t want to, I have to step over myself, but I need to do it. The man overcomes difficulties!”

If necessary, do it! I’m not saying what you shouldn’t do or that overcoming difficulties is bad. But if we return to the previous note of this series, there must be a goal and one must try to find the best path to it.

Look at the men beating their chests ¹, who kill themselves for the sake of who knows what. Their life is hell, they are miserable, but they continue to kill themselves.

We are intelligent. This means you need to follow the path of the mind, and not anyhow (and wherever your eyes look).

I love how ideas that sound banal and magical actually work when they turn into practical things.

I just thought that resistance helps because… What is the essence of the resistance you are experiencing? A reaction, a hint from the body that something is wrong. This means you need to step back and try again, then do the same thing, but a little differently.

One might object: “What about overcoming difficulties? Maybe sometimes it’s worth overpowering yourself and getting through the difficulty? Break yourself? Of course, you can look at this in different ways and I will be happy to hear your point of view in the comments.

I believe that (and here is an often-heard and, at first glance, banal idea) we have a way. So there is a goal. So how can we be hindered by an obstacle if the goal is clear? We’ll get there sooner or later. Or we won’t get there. Perhaps we’ll find a new goal along the way.

Also think about the fact that there are nested goals. One global and many smaller ones. They are also goals, but at the same time they are also pointers that lead to the global one.

This means that what we should learn, what we should pay a lot of attention to is the ability to find a goal.
