The unlived life and the life we live and what stands between us fulfilling our dreams is resistance.  Resistance seems to come from the outside but it is actually internal and is self generated.  Resistance is universal and everyone suffers from resistance.  The more important a call or dream is the more resistance. Resistance is fueled by fear it has  master that fear and we conquer resistance,   Resistance will kick in if and of the following purstuits

  • Any Pursuit of Art, Painting, Music and Writing
  • Entrepreneurial pursuit of New Venture or Enterprise for Profit
  • Diet or Better Health and Fitness
  • Spiritual Advancement
  • Education
  • Instilling New Habits
  • Helping Others
  • Any community of the Heart
  • A Principled Stand

Procrastination if a form of resistance which stops us form doing or completing our work. Procrastination is one of the worst forms of resistance because it leads use to believe that will follow what ever worthy ideal we what to pursue to better our live but we will just do it tomorrow. So if you find yourself pursuing new activities that will lead you to a higher level in life there will be resistance. The more resistance you have with a pursuit the more you will find this is a pursuit that you are called to do.  We need to have our own revolution against resistance.

I just got done listening to a two CD set which is from the book The War of Art written by Steven Pressfield now I have not read the book but the CD was very impressive and give you a many forms of resistance, what resistance is and how to overcome resistance. The one thing about resistance is that it only pushes one way and once we push back resistance is like a bully it will back down and flea.

I would recommend getting the book or the CD if you are starting a new enterprise, seeking a higher calling, going on a diet or healthier or fit, or starting a writing project, creating art or learning music.
