However, a couple of days ago, I was feeling a ton of resistance. I have been soo busy with many projects, speaking engagements and growth opportunities and I was thinking to myself...' I don't know if I can go.'  My inner critic was...up!  I am expanding out of my current comfort zone.  Things weren't lining up in a way that made me comfortable about getting back on the road.  There were many balls in the air.  Many unknowns yet to be revealed.  And then I saw this quote...


"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, a chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way."


And with this all became clear!  And I recommitted to my vision and my purpose which is to inspire creative transformation in order to catalyze Universal Joy, Freedom and Abundance!

And then as the Universal Law allows, once I was fully in, things started to line up.

Of course there is resistance, resistance is very much part of the initiation inherent in our creative process, it is what will give you the inner strength to see your vision through to fruition and this leap of faith is what will carry you to greater confidence in yourself.

I find myself saying, TRUST YOUR RESISTANCE  If there is a lot of healthy resistance, it tells you that you are on the right path!  You intuitively know the difference if its healthy or not---more anticipation of the great unknown,  rather than anxiety that this doesn't feel right.

So is there something in your life that you are resisting? Is there an opportunity to take a leap out of your comfort zone?

Remember it is all part of the process of learning to trust yourself and you don't need to do it alone!
