Why did you want to become a mother? I don't think many of us ask ourselves that question. It's just a rite of passage for many.

Did my motherhood shape my faith, or rather, did my faith shape my motherhood? I’m not sure I have the answer, but after that retreat when I understood that I wasn’t just marking time here, that I had a mission from God, I knew that when I embraced my vocation with a joy and fervor I had not done before, vocation and faith worked together to change me and to grow in virtue and love.

Our brain and it’s job to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy is what creates the feeling of resistance - the force against the change or thing we need or want to do. And we need to just identify it that way – notice it, name it, find a way to move through it.  Saying to ourselves, "Oh, this is just my brain resisting, but my brain doesn’t always know what’s best for me.  I can move through this."

Judging others gives us a sense of control – even if that control is only in our thoughts. But when we judge others, it says more about us than about those we judge.
