RISING WOMEN EXPERT
ADVICE...
I have often heard
that success follows the path of least resistance. For some of us, this can
be a confusing proposition during times when we are confronted with the
challenges and pitfalls of personal growth.
Perhaps the most misleading part of that concept is the idea that, if we are
on the right path, we should not meet with resistance.
Along my personal journey, I have learned to take in the teachings of
Grandmother Earth and I have seen that there is little outside of ourselves
that is insurmountable. In fact, even the flower can meet with the
resistance of a rock in order to bloom. What is often the insurmountable
piece is the story of our own inner resistance - projected outward.
We have all met with our resistance at one point or another in life. Some of
the time we have pushed forward with determination. Yet, all too often, we
spin a tale of defeat as we shrink back into our lives with the notion that
the life we truly want is intangible.
The truth is, our resistance is the catalyst for growth. It is our inner
barometer, warning us of the storm that will come to clear our way. It is
what allows us to push our envelope; to become more than we thought we could
be.
More often than not, the tales we spin are the only resistance we face and
we are all great writers, indeed!
Think about it. What are the dreams you have given up on in life? Where have
the winds of time carried to you? The truth is what lies before you, leading
you to twist and turn with resistance to the very things you were seeking.
Meeting our resistance is a matter of looking into that mirror of
self-reflection, and meeting our own energy. Throughout history, we have
learned that there is nothing outside of ourselves to stop us.
Teachers are all around us, in nature and in each other. The fact that you
are reading this means that your path has offered you a means to overcome
what blocks your way.
Now is the time to close your eyes, see the ripeness of your sacred dream
and to take a step forward. Look beyond the rocks to what it is you are
seeking. Can you see it? That is the path of least resistance.
