with the current or against the current

It seems lately the more I resist something, the more it starts to come my way, in second and third helpings... and the more relaxed I am then it shows up in smaller bite sizes...

I read recently that what re resist is usually what we need

This makes sense to me when I am reading it, but when it comes to real life I would rather go hungry in most instances, than have a plate so full that it is spilling over the edges.

So is it better to have one full meal of life and dive right in,  or smaller little snacks of it spread through out?
In one hand getting life's gifts all at once can have a huge life altering experience that may either change your course, or volcano. Or you may be going so slow that the changes are sustainable but could potentially not be enough to keep you on track.

Maybe what this calls for is a little more flowing and a little less ebbing...
