The Struggle to Walk over Burning Coals (Day 10 prompt: Struggle)

It is a struggle 
to walk over burning coals 
when we do not expect it 

to hurt.

We struggle when
we don't accept things
as they are.

Life is difficult 
when we fight 

the universe
fate

or anything else
we have no control over.

When we try
to resist the 
will of the universe, 

or fate
the will of 
something greater,
plan for a struggle.

So, it's easier 

to change our way,

than it is 

to change

the will of the universe,

or fate, 

or the will of 

something greater. 

Try to remember 

you can only change
what you have 

some control over.

Let go 

of everything else,
and most of the struggles

will go with it.

Then

your next challenge 

will be 

staying clear 

of the burning coals

in your path.
