In development, resistance isn’t a red flag. It’s an indicator that we are on the right track.
Development requires leaving the unknown, with or without enthusiasm. The idea that we are going to leave the unknown and not experience some internal resistance is precious.
We call any intentional effort that triggers internal resistance pucker work. Where what’s possible collides with what’s comfortable.
Resistance isn’t the system breaking down. It’s the system waking up. It reveals the space between who we are and who we’re becoming.
Avoid it, and we plateau.
Engage it, and we develop.
Where in your work are you using resistance for a reason to stop?
