Overcoming resistance - the secret to success

"re?sist?ance" - a simple word with many meanings. The dictionary tells us it can mean:
1. the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding. Or
2. the opposition offered by one thing, force, etc., to another. Or
3.a. the tendency of a conductor to oppose the flow of current, causing electrical energy to be changed into heat.
b. a conductor or coil offering such opposition; resistor. Or
4. Opposition to an attempt to bring repressed thoughts or feelings into consciousness. Or
5. An underground organization working to liberate a country occupied by a foreign power.
All of these are valid and true but what does it mean for you and your degree of success? A lot!
The level of your success will depend on the degree of resistance you have in all areas of your life. That's the truth. Resist eating healthy and exercising and watch disease spread in your body. Resist relaxation by working hard and long hours and watch yourself age rapidly. Resist your bad boss and find your career stuck and stagnating. As the old saying goes what you resist, persists.
What I've discovered time and time again in my own life and with many clients is that the inner secret to success in life, business, career and wellbeing is delight and joy. When we:
- Stop trying to become a success
- Stop striving to climb the ladder
- Throw away all the how to books
- Give up pushing to make sh$# happen
And instead we:
- Follow our strengths and passions
- Let go of stress and strain
- Bring joy and light to others
- Reduce unnecessary stress and suffering
- Restore our natural biorhythms
- Reconnect with Mother Nature
When we instead find our truth and allow perfect alignment then life begins to magically flow with abundance and joy. Success, joy and fortune are effortless if you learn the secret to perfect alignment.
Being balanced exactly and precisely like a spinning top means you don't expend any energy staying in motion, just like when a spinning top is perfectly balanced it spins effortlessly and continuously. Apply any tilt or resistance and it goes off course, gains friction and the resistance slows it down making it wobble and crash. Our lives are exactly the same. We all know when we eat well for our body, exercise, sleep well, reduce stress, pursue our hobbies, and make time for our loved ones, everything flows better, smoother, easier. We feel more vibrant and energetic and can get through all we need to each day.
Being in perfect alignment brings with it a state of joy which allows you to hit peak flow and becomes highly contagious -others start to wonder what drug we're taking and why we are so happy. Our energy and light begins to spread and become contagious and everyone wants to be around us.
Which is why my work is offered to all who want to find and align with their truth. I delight in seeing people grow, flourish, prosper and become their best self. I want you to no longer struggle for success.I want you to have enough power to overcome your procrastination and resistance. I want you to lead a joyful, happy, stress free life.
Ask yourself:
1. Am I struggling with unanswered questions and unresolved health issues?
2 Is something holding me back from living my life to the fullest?
3. Do I have unsettled emotions and feelings of unease? Do I feel ‘emptiness’ despite living a so called ‘good life’?
4. Am I feeling out of balance, or ‘not quite right’?
5. Do I feel trapped in the rat race and unable to navigate forward?
6. Do I feel abandoned, lonely or hopeless?
7. Do I feel overlooked for career progression and opportunity?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions, alignment is the key to progress.
For alignment to occur you must identify your truth and where you’re out of alignment - may you find your way there sooner rather than later. The truth will as they say, set you free!
