Resistance Definition: the refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument.
The biggest thing I have learned this year is that I am my biggest resistance. I have been the one that has stopped me from moving forward.
Examples of Resistance:
Resistance comes in many ways:
This morning for me resistance came from phone calls from work and cleaning my pool, customers and then I noticed my dishwasher was not working so I fixed it!
I have found that the more time I give myself the more time escapes me to finish a task.
“The cost of success is the struggle” - Rick Alexander
Rest of the Year
As we finish out this year are there things you still want to accomplish but you are rationalizing putting them off until next year?
Finish Line
What I have found is that as we closer to accomplishing a goal there will be all sorts of things that stand in the way of accomplishing a goal we want to accomplish.
This could be sticking to our plan to get a workout in each day or something we want to do with our family before the year is up.
How Do We Fight Against The Resistance?
Set a time you are going to do something and do not let anything get in the way. For me the only way this will for sure happen is if I do the most important things I want to accomplish first thing in the morning.
Take Action!
Get moving! It is what gets your mind going and helps you to come up with ways to accomplish what you want to accomplish.
Final Thoughts
Here is a final thought from Steven Pressfield from his book The War of Art on being a professional:
A Professional Accepts No Excuses
The professional has learned better. He respects Resistance. He knows if he caves in today, no matter how plausible the pretext, he’ll be twice as likely to cave in tomorrow.
The professional knows that Resistance is like a telemarketer: if you so much as say hello, you’re finished. The pro doesn’t even pick up the phone. He stays at work.
What action will you take today to fight the resistance that will come your way today? Please comment below.
