A defensive wall we tend to see as something to hide behind. It keeps our opponents out, but we are the ones who are restricted in space for we are kept in. Offensive walls are behind us, supporting us and giving us strength.
“The best defense is a good offense”. Any serious sports fan knows this fundamental is the foundation upon which winning is built. And what exactly produces a strong offense? Stepping out and acting rather than reacting. The quarterback who hides in back of his defensive line, will soon be sitting on the sidelines. In contrast, the quarterback who trusts that his offensive line is strong, will step out, pass the ball, score, and ultimately, dance in the end zone.
Using your sports analogy, I'm not particularly excited about getting tackled.
If your wall is fear, step in front of it and see the fear in light so that it can be understood. If you wall is anger, step in front of it and allow the anger to again become understanding. If the wall is hate, step in front of it, not to become hated, but to understand love. No matter what your wall is, when you hide behind it, you cannot see truth. When you stand in front of it, it can become your strength for it is in the light. And when you are in the light, you're are not hiding, you are not fearful, you are not angry, you are not hateful. For love is the truth of light and with love there can be no fear, no anger, and no hate. Come out from behind your wall and dance with your life.
Challenge: The next time you confront an angry person or situation, instead of defensively defending your position, try offering the offensive offender love instead.
