So Here's What I Read ...

... today, on another WebLog (http://taichiheartwork.blogspot.com/) ...

'What distinguishes a good Tai Chi student is their refusal to baulk or flinch at the truth. Part of this involves not having it in you to brush what makes you uncomfortable under the carpet, but instead face it constantly until resolution, even if that means becoming so consumed by your battle that you almost cease to function as a normal social being'

... and I thank the WebLog provider for this touching piece of wisdom ...

Since I began to look at who I 'truly' am and to ask, is my life 'truly' happy and fulfilled, it has felt like I have been 'consumed by my battle to the point where I have been unable to function as a normal social being'.

I was moved when I read this, it was so liberating and I believe I fleetingly felt compassion for myself and for my struggle .. instead of feeling like a drama queen.
