If you are constantly swimming against the current in every area of your life, you are spending precious energy on things that do not deserve your time. Consider the man who refuses pain medication after an injury because they want to prove they are tough, only to slow their healing because their body is spending so much energy managing the pain. Not every resistance is noble. Sometimes strength looks like holding the line, and sometimes it looks like accepting the help, adjusting the plan, and saving your energy for the battle worth fighting.
