These lyrics focus on our own “internal resistance to change.” How many times do we ask the question, “Why is this happening to me?” A friend expressed frustration, thought of himself as a victim of circumstance. We could easily see that all his troubles were the direct result of his own design. His own decisions and actions caused his grief. We concluded that he surely was exactly where he needed to be for his own personal growth, and was simply resisting those excruciating growing pains, as we all do. It’s so much easier to observe things in others rather than ourselves. Then, of course, the conversation eventually turned to us, and we realized that we also were right where we needed to be—and always have been.
