Our obsession with resistance

We are so obsessed with resisting things that we have to choose to hold pictures in our minds of things that may not even happen and then worry about them so we can spend our energy resisting them.

We keep pictures of the past ready and available in our minds to prove that the new opportunity we are blessed with today is not as good as it seems. If we can resist, we can stay “safe” in the known, which is the riskiest place to be if growth and contribution are essential to us.

The way out is simple, yet it takes profound dedication. When you notice yourself resisting, make a new choice and come back to the freedom of the present moment by relaxing in your body and asking what you would do if you had no resistance. Do that thing and allow your creativity to begin to flow. Do this as often per minute, hour, or day as needed.
