The Value of Conflicts & Fears

I was reminded today that my constant striving for additional growth, without any sort of “self-flagellation” or even moderate self-criticism, is a balance that I have only recently achieved.  The fact is that my humanness results in conflicts and doubts that make growth difficult.  I also find it best to embrace those conflicts and doubts as part of being human, a beautiful and rich experience (also transient and illusory!).  For example, I have made tremendous strides in overcoming parts of my disability, physically and emotionally.  I also know that the process is not done yet and that my blocks, in part, come from my own doubts and fears.
