The Push and Pull

Have you ever had the sensation that you're being pulled in one direction by a force stronger than yourself, but you're compelled to push against it. Almost like when you ride the Tilt-A-Whirl at a Carnival, you're spinning and pulled to the outside of the spin, but you are trying to stay in your seat pushing against the centrifugal force.

This is how I live my life. So many times I push against the thing that I should be letting pull me. I fight, I rebel, I push. The thing is that centrifugal force is irresistible, you must eventually yield to it if you're going to enjoy the ride. I know this in my head. I know that if I yielded sooner I would enjoy more of the ride. And still I push against the pull.
