And they call her Resistance.

And she is stopping you from getting going and moving forward with your business idea.

I think Freud expressed it perfectly when he talked about the big elephant in the room to what is stopping you.

He called it a death wish and if you sit back and think about it, he was right

He said

“That destructive force inside human nature that rises whenever we consider a tough long term course of action that might do for us or others something that is actually good”

And I completely agree, it is a very destructive force and one that needs to be overcome.

I come across people on a regular basis, who, with great conviction, say how much they want to write a book, start a business or pursue a passion.

This is then closely followed by a laundry list of reasons why whatever they say they want to do hasn’t happened yet.

I find it very, very sad; so many people are trapped in this world of resistance.

They are trapped right in that space between the full-on and real desire to do something and then moving themselves to actually doing it.

Many people live here, on Resistance Street, sad and frustrated and like that other very famous quote dismally says “living lives of quiet desperation with their song still inside of them”

So, would I be talking about you when I ask?

If so you then you might be facing your own spell of resistance.
