Life’s Greatest Paradox: What You Resist, Persists

Quite logically, we can’t get rid of something if we don’t acknowledge its existence. But what would happen if we accept the reality and truth of the things we resist? Would acceptance make them worse? Or could it actually be the first step toward improvement and transformation? This video explores how things we resist persist and what we accept transforms.

"Even craving for something external is a form of suffering, it's the dissatisfaction with the present moment "

‘One cannot grow into their greatest self, without first acknowledging their greatest weaknesses in order to incorporate them into their being.’

After being laid off twice in different cities, my life has had to start over from scratch each time. I'm turning 30 this year and will be flat broke because of leadership decisions that were wholly out of my control. I can either sit in sorrow and mourn the life I had envisioned for myself, or I can acknowledge it's painful and move forward. The "moving forward" part absolutely sucks, but I know future me will be grateful.

I just got a dream job about 2 months ago and all of a sudden I knew that everyone I was working with was talking about me behind my back saying how I was a terrible person and fit for the job. I was convinced that I was going to be fired very soon so much so that I was looking into getting out of my lease and didn't even unpack after moving in. I struggle with mental health issues and severe paranoia at times, and I am always quick to isolate myself. I just realized that I resist the negative aspects of being human (like talking behind someones back, having negative and judgemental feelings towards others) so much that it started to take me down from the outside, and I resist because I believe people have done those things to me and I know how it feels. The self sabatoge mentioned in this video was going to be me acting cold and rude towards everybody, and asking my boss if I was going to be fired, which could have likely manifested into reality from my unconscious. I am greatful tho because I had been looking for my shadow for a while, experimenting a little here and there with no progress, but that experience revealed what part of it is, and this video allowed me to see it. Thank you.

Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.

"The craving for something external is a form of suffering; it is a dissatisfaction with the present moment."

It truly is, and this, I believe, aligns with the Stoic belief that we should cease to desire that which we lack, but instead appreciate that which we already have. I do this every day now, and it never fails to lift my mood.

I always feel like I learn something new about myself after watching your videos

[BTarbell]

Videos like this seem to appear right when I need them, like the universe is sending them to me for a reason

[AndrewKozley]

The thought of that this channel has 2million followers of people, who try to find answer to their life and people, who use their minds gives me the absolute inner peace🙏🏼

Fully embracing one's dark side, allows us to eventually move on...and it only happens with "time"...thanks, Einzelganger...your books are great, too.

[JennieStrahan]

I always enjoy finding new content on this channel. This channel is both educational and inspirational. Grounded and existential. Simple to digest and at the same time profound. Thank you for your contributions!!

[ettanina]

Now this is the type of content I was looking for. but you explained it 10 times better than other channels

[mirceazaharia]

A new hand touches the Beacon... and a new video drops just on the topic that I needed. Thanks, Einzelganger!

[ItsMe-sxck]

I know I have to accept the reality as it is. Then only i can make things easier and do things that brings a change.

I think daily journaling will help me.

Thanks man for making these contents..

Someone told me the meaning of life is to experience life. Right now I’m experiencing nostalgia for the first time in my life. It’s a difficult feeling. I would describe it as a pleasant suffering. I’ve been dreaming to experience what feels like and now I’m glad that I have this opportunity now. At the same time I understand that when I get home I will miss the exact same life I’m living right now. So the answer remains the same simple one - the only moment we possess is now.

As a disabled(unseen) as well as when child. The games of artful psychological psychopathic narcissistic manipulating abuses on many levels never-ending! Denial is not cure!
