Life is always new, which means there is no such thing as an “old” problem. The only thing aged in us, with regards to what continues to make us ache, is our worn out ideas about how to overcome our unwanted condition — dead-end resolutions that include learning to “just live” with regrets and resentments. What does, in fact, grow “older” in us — and secretly seasons our suffering — is how we more readily and rapidly accept our own conclusions that our problems are insurmountable. And so, as amazing as it is, we remain captives of our unwanted condition by consent!
