Resistance Is A Gift

How many times have you set yourself to task only to have something immediately block your way?

Resistance feels cozy. It’s the warmth beneath the covers, begging for ten more minutes.

Resistance is rationale. It’s the voice that says you’re stiff and sore and might get hurt, so better give it a rest.

Resistance never stops. It’s the battle we all face, the war that will never end.

But above all, Resistance is a gift. It lets us know we’re on the right track by turning our plans and path upside down.

Think about it: how many times have you set yourself to task only to have something immediately block your way?

That’s not coincidence, that’s the universe asking if you really want this. That’s Resistance showing you that this is the way, but it will cost you.

And so what? It’s that very feeling of opposition we should be searching for. Because what happens after we face Resistance and win?
