How To Overcome Resistance!
How to achieve progress
We are very much aware of what we should do to better ourselves, our businesses, and bring about progress towards our goals. We are very much aware that we need to cultivate within ourselves; self-discipline, but,
There’s a force that stands between us and action. This force is called Resistance. It’s a force so strong that it can make you hate yourself. It’s a force not easily conquered by mere desire.
You have heard; you don’t want something hard enough if you’re not doing something about it, well, you know that it might be true to some people but to you, that’s not entirely the case. You know deep within yourself that the things you want to do, you want them with all your heart but the Resistance is just too powerful for you.
You wake up and you say, I’m going to be productive today and by the end of the day, you look back, and there’s no progress made. Sometimes you fight hard and you win the battle but the next day you can’t get the victory again.
This Resistance brings about all types of distractions, it literally stops you from doing anything productive that it fills you with confusion. This Resistance is not an imagination to you, it’s a real force that can actually make you fall asleep or keep you in bed.
If this is you!
Then understand that this a WAR. Understand that you must brace yourself, put on your armor, and realize you’re going to fight this force.
The Weapons You’re Going To Need.
- PRAYER:- I can tell you all the motivational quotes, psychological strategies, and mental exercise but if I don’t tell you about this weapon, I would be doing a disservice to you. Prayer is the most powerful weapon against Resistance. This force of resistance can be conquered by prayer. It is a force that is spiritual, and if you come against it by prayer in the name of Jesus, confessing that the blood of Jesus overcame that force, you will gain victory over it, by the grace of God.
- RESILIENCE:- You must cultivate within you a fighting spirit. You must face that force over and over again. Accept it’s there and say, I’m going to fight you. If you lose today, tomorrow you go against it again. If there are things you want to do, you wake up early and you go at it, even if you do a small thing, celebrate that victory because that’s progress and progress is the victory over the force of Resistance.
- GRATITUDE:- Gratitude is a force that counters Resistance. It brings about within you a strong spirit filled with peace, confidence, and a positive attitude toward life. Be grateful for who you’re right now, where you’re right now, what you have right now. Don’t just say I’m grateful, truly understand how grateful you’re, be grateful for your hands, and completely realize that you’re fortunate to have them, not everyone has hands. Not everyone has what you have, and understand that what you have and what you are wasn’t owed to you, you’re fortunate to be and have that. Be grateful all the time and also be grateful for the things you want, the fact that you want them is a blessing so be grateful for those things as if you already have them. Less complaining and more gratitude.
- SELFLESSNESS:- The fountain of motivation is discovered through selflessness. When you discover how to drink from that fountain, you will have the strength to overcome Resistance. How do you discover it? Find a reason outside of yourself for why you want to do the things you want to do. If you have family, that is your fountain, I’m going to do this because if I don’t, my family is going to starve, or if I don’t do this, my father isn’t going to get the medical care he needs. If you drink from this fountain, even when Resistance comes against you, you will have the strength to fight it because you know why you must achieve your goals. It doesn’t always have to be family, it could be a group of people, a school, a city, a country or the world, or even animals. Just discover your own fountain, something outside of yourself, and you drink from it.
