Resistance

Resistance

Resistance is a remarkable force for good and/or a formiable foe. It can appear in numerous forms, mechanical, psychological, chemical, environmental, and humanity to name a few. As winter grips parts of the northern hemisphere, our ability to adapt or subcome to cold is a form of resistance.

Making a decision has a layer of resistance embedded. Embracing homeostatis allows us to postpone resistance in some circumstances. Trying to navigate numerous choices creates points of friction and resistance in certain occurrences.

How might we prepare in advance for resistance points? How might we preload resources to overcome barriers that will postpone our progress? And, how might we adopt a mindset to honor resistance points that are impending signs of failure or damage?

Resistance as Compass

Where and when do each of us embrace uncertainty?  If we are doing it for the applause then safety trumps innovation and we cease pushing towards the edge.  The resistance (fear) we feel offers a platform from which to lean-in instead of bending away.  What we do is not for everyone, it is for the dedicate few we picked to serve.  The resistance reminds us that our work matters.
