The path of least resistance leads to destruction...

You cannot possibly imagine how disgusted I was when my ex-husband told me that Jackson and I were not “allowed” to ride with him to Dallas (for Jackson’s MRI) because it causes too much of a problem at his house. He tried to explain that his girlfriend makes this situation very hard on him and that I should be more understanding…I don’t and will never understand how a person can be so incredibly selfish. It is mind blowing. I asked Jeremy how he can allow her to compromise his relationship with his son time and time again; his response (are you sitting down?): “Lindsey, I just try to take the path of least resistance”.

The path of least resistance is for those that feel powerless and not in control of their own lives. Despite any efforts to change the way they think and act; the old patterns (the ones that take them into the same situation over and over again) remain. It is like a river, as long as the riverbed remains unchanged the water will continue to flow just as it always has – you have to be willing to change the basics (the core of your being) if there is ever going to be an adjustment on any level. I am aware that there are times when it is best not to tap into your energy reserve to fight some of the forces that come your direction; I have used entirely too much energy at various times in my life when I would have been better off letting go and allowing certain situations to take care of themselves. This is not one of those times.

You can only take that path for so long before the regret and guilt haunt you endlessly; for some it has already set in. The path of least resistance is a well worn and most often a trampled path; people that travel this way are often at odds on so many other paths they end up on this less challenging path secondary to a lacking of self-esteem, trust and faith. Life without obstacles hinders growth; you can never be as strong as you should have been. Our history books and even the bible hold proof that the path of least resistance leads to destruction.
