Bullies want you to give up. They want you to think they’re more relentless; they’ve always won; you know they’ll again so why struggle or fight. Resistance is futile. They want you to think the future will be a repeat of the past.
Self-bullying and self-abuse follows the same pattern. That negative, insidious inner voice tells you that you’ll never succeed; you’ve never kept your resolutions; you’ve never changed the things you’ve tried hardest to change; you have a defect inside that will destroy you. You’re an imposter, a phony, not enough, bad. Think of all your failures, the embarrassing moments, the people who turned away. Resistance is futile.
That’s all wrong.
History is not destiny!
The message in all the great stories from all the great traditions is the same: Never give up. Let nothing crush you. Keep fighting because you choose to.
Whether you’re Odysseus or Neo from the Matrix; whether you’re Gandhi, Mandela or Scrooge; whether you’re Bilbo or Frodo or Aragorn; whether you’re Arjuna or Rama; whether you’re Joan of Arc or Sita or Parvati, whether you’re Arwyn or Tauriel; the message that matters is always the same.
Fear and despair are bullies. Never give in to anxiety or depression. Keep trying. Keep fighting. Count the victories more than the set-backs.
History is not destiny!
