Having different ideas and pursing them can cause friction. Others may not share the same philosophies. We can create our own friction and become our own worst enemies. When we fail we can beat ourselves up. There is resistance from others to ideas. Sometimes, the ideas are not for that particular person. Forcing our views on others is no way to make friends. It can seem unnatural to go against the grain. You may work against yourself. Resisting the urge to change, is a natural thing. The world is changing. Rising above or going a different path than others is not easy. The least we can do is stop talking to ourselves in a way that is not productive or negative. Start with ourselves first than help others.
