Anyone who is trying to make a major change in their life or do something they have always wanted to do knows the force of resistance they will meet head on when they try. We make deadlines we hope we can meet, and then struggle to meet them. It is as if there is a force equal to our desire that resists our accomplishing it.

Is that a law of physics or something? Seems like there is a floating memory in my head somewhere…it will come to me later and maybe I will come back and add it.

Anyway, you can be sure it is worth pushing against, just doing that one next thing, in order to get there. It probably represents the best thing you have ever thought you could do. In church we used to refer to resistance as the devil trying to block you, but I think it is a massive wall that you are trying to break through. That’s why I have come to the ‘remove it, one brick at a time’ way of dealing with it. Break it down into manageable pieces that you can move. Sneak up on it. Come in the back door and surprise it. But do something different, even if you have to fool yourself!

I bought six composition notebooks a few days ago and headed each cover with a different category where I am trying to make changes in my life. All of it on one list has always been overwhelming and confusing to me. Now I approach them each differently, not being upset if I only record progress in one book a day. Hopefully, my results will be magnified by separating my thoughts and actions to different goals. After a while,  I will be able to look back and see!
