Sometimes we make things hard for ourselves.
We hate this, we will never do that, we would rather die first, or punctuate our thoughts with “…only if hell freezes over”, allowing ourselves to fall prey to strong feelings of (false) pride, revulsion, aversion or not wanting something to the point of repulsion or loathing. We do not realize that simply by planting those seeds of thought in our minds, we have placed a behemoth obstacle in our paths.
