August/ 2019 A powerful quote from the book: “Resistance is simply your mind’s fearful response to your heart and soul’s inspiration.” To overcome resistance in your life, whether it be in your health, your business, your job, or your relationship, you have to expand your level of awareness. The things that you resist could very well be your purpose – the thing that will most fulfill you as you start doing it. You know that feeling deep inside yourself, the one that is a deep- seated desire that you keep pushing away but wants to be expressed as part of you. This is what has become trapped in your self-created prison of fear and that underlying sense that you are not quite good enough. So soften your resistance, let go of your perceived limitations and beliefs that are making it hard for you and stopping all the good you desire to come your way. Ask yourself: who could I be without my problems? Your problems can serve a great purpose, but they also can become a great excuse for you to not show up. “Excuses are nothing more than lies that fear has sold you“ (Carmen Bell, South African Entrepreneur).
