Encountering resistance

It can be annoying when bugs are hitting you in the face. And yet, it means you’re moving along very fast.

It can be frustrating when obstacles keep popping up to block your path. And yet it is a sure sign that you’re making progress.

It can take a great deal of effort to work through the challenges that arise each day. And yet the more difficult those challenges become, the higher you are climbing.

The faster you go, the more resistance you’re likely to encounter. Fortunately, though, the faster you go, the more momentum you build.

As that momentum grows, you can more and more quickly turn the problems into opportunities. Though the challenges grow intense as you move faster, your ability to handle them grows at an even faster pace.

Choose to work through the obstacles, to seek out the challenges, and to not let the frustrations get you down. For as you move through them, you are moving toward success, achievement and fulfillment.
