π No matter what outer challenges we engage in throughout the day, at the end of the day, we will be just by ourselves, facing our inner demons.
π We can avoid outer battles, but inner battles can be avoided for so long...
π As Buddha mentioned, from the time that we are born to the time we die, we will experience suffering.
π Our ego is the one that drives us to achieve outer results, yet it is the one we must overcome - or at least balance - in order to win our inner battles.
π On some level, we understand this, yet there is a force inside us that resists it.
π Still, keep on trying. This is a lifelong process that becomes more and more internalized as the years go by.
π Overcome, meditate, assimilate your lessons, and start over again.
π Inner strength can only be developed this way.
