You are not alone.
The louder a call is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.
Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. It has no conscience and it is
impersonal. It is always lying and full of shit.
Resistance is elicited when we launch an entrepreneurial venture. It is elicited when we pursue
education. It is elicited when we make a commitment of the heart. It is elicited when we undertake
any enterprise or endeavor whose aim is to help others. It is elicited when we act out of political,
moral, or ethical courage. In short, any act that rejects immediate gratification in favor of long-term
growth, health, or integrity elicits Resistance.
Resistance can look like brain clutter. Thought versus chatter. It can look like research. You can
never be ready enough. It can look like procrastination. It can look like self-judgment. It looks like
running errands instead of doing the work. It can look like inertia. It can look like fear. Fear and
intelligence keep us safe.
We can neverIt will never go away. But we can outsmart it, and we can enlist allies that are as
powerful as it is.
Our weapons against Resistance are passion, stubbornness, crazy and unconventional stupidity, blind
faith, friends and family, mentors and coaches.
Thought has an innate intelligence and infinite creative potential. Resistance blocks the innate
intelligence and creativity. When we chip away at the Resistance we can access more innate
intelligence and creativity.
I coach people to handle their Resistance. I don’t offer five easy steps. There aren’t five easy steps.
Our resistance is often informed by our histories and our stories. We all have different stories. I help
people make their stories and thus their Resistance more conscious. Then we fight like hell.
Join me and a group of your peers as we outsmart the Resistance week by week. Call me about getting
into a group coaching program.
You are not alone.
