I'm learning to accept that life doesn't pan out how you thought it would, and I try to take each day as it comes. I would make myself sick if I worried about the future. Life's too short to worry about what will happen. If you don't act today, how can you even GET to where you want to be? Take what life throws at you. If you have an easy life, good for you. If you have a hard life, be thankful that you came through the other side, and look at what you've learned along the way.

I resist the randomality (informality) of the synchronicity of drive and subject when the object has lost its reality and exists as an internality exclusively, an unreality or unreal mental object, regressive or degrading trans-personal phenomena. see link and quote below for positive progression then conceptualize a returning to the primitive levels, 'neurotic needs'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow
'Maslow postulated that needs are arranged in a hierarchy in terms of their potency. Although all needs are instinctive, some are more powerful than others. The lower the need is in the pyramid, the more powerful it is. The higher the need is in the pyramid, the weaker and more distinctly human it is. The lower, or basic, needs on the pyramid are similar to those possessed by non-human animals, but only humans possess the higher needs.
The first four layers of the pyramid are what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "D-needs:" the individual does not feel anything if they are met, but feels anxious if they are not met..... Needs beyond the D-needs are "growth needs," "being values," or "B-needs." When fulfilled, they do not go away; rather, they motivate further.
The base of the pyramid is formed by the physiological needs, including the biological requirements for food, water, air, and sleep.
Once the physiological needs are met, an individual can concentrate on the second level, the need for safety and security. Included here are the needs for structure, order, security, and predictability.
The third level is the need for love and belonging. Included here are the needs for friends and companions, a supportive family, identification with a group, and an intimate relationship.
The fourth level is the esteem needs. This group of needs requires both recognition from other people that results in feelings of prestige, acceptance, and status, and self-esteem that results in feelings of adequacy, competence, and confidence. Lack of satisfaction of the esteem needs results in discouragement and feelings of inferiority.
Finally, self-actualization sits at the apex of the original pyramid.'

Most of the things we don't like in our life (I'm inevitably married to a wonderful man) are there whether we resist them or not. We don't 'resist' but we do 'ignore' them as much as possible. Occasionally (right now, for instance) we are a bit low on cash ... but we acknowledge that and 'go on as best we can' (we are NOT into getting payday loans or other such things) but when we do that, something happens to 'make it better' for us ... we wanted to take a friend out to lunch today (had even borrowed money to do it from him, which is funny) then the guys boss came into town and wanted to have a 'small Christmas party lunch' on the same day. His wife is with him, so we are all meeting for lunch ... and because he's the 'boss' he's likely to pick up the check ... but our friend won't accept the 'loan' back earlier than the middle of January ... which means we are 'flush' again even though we really DO NOT CARE about the money ... and if I 'gave freeley' earlier this month to some extra charities, and gave a bit extra to the service people (hairdresser, etc.) that is being given to us now (not that we wanted anything extra) 100 times over. Think about that ... we believe in God and that if we look out for others, God will look out for us. We may think about this in terms of going to Heaven ... but evidently God wants us to be really happy, especially this Christmas. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!

No, I do not resist what is in my Life, I accept it for what it is, I have never regretted what my Life turned out, I have always had a good Life since I Married my Husband, and it has been, 49 years ,and I could never have been happier than I was before I got Married.

I am in a state of acceptance, right now. But I'm trying to make myself more receptive to benificial things coming into my life. I think the more one resists something the more that undesirable something manifests.

I try to live an alternative lifestyle but because I still have to work in the vanilla world it's hard to do, so I have a tendency to resist converting completely. I'm trying to get there and someday I'll make it. It will make me happier and will most certainly make my Significant Other happy.

I actively resist some things, like the fact that my lawn is too high, and I make ongoing efforts to resist other things, like my weight, and I totally accept other things like my age.
