Hey, what's up? This is Leo for actualizedorg here, and today I want to talk about the idea of resistance, and how resistance robs you of a lot of your potential even if you are already super motivated.

So what is resistance?

Well I like to make an analogy between mental resistance and electrical resistance.

So electrical resistance we know of as the tendency of a conductor

to not want to have current flow through it.

So obstruction of current through an electrical wire

would be electrical resistance.

Whereas the resistance I'm talking about

the self-development type of resistance is your

resistance your mind's resistance towards thoughts and ideas and ultimately

actions because what you think and what you believe and what your ideas are your concepts your

inner game is going to influence the kind of actions that you're able to carry out in

your life. So what are some things that you might be resisting? Well, how about that big project at work that's due in two weeks?

Or washing the dishes, or doing your homework or having that conversation that you need to have with your

loved one or going Christmas shopping two weeks before Christmas rather than

waiting until the last day or how about doing your taxes or sending your

resume off to another company or maybe going to the dentist even though you're afraid to.

So all these things you can be resistant to.

So the thing that is really interesting and kind of pernicious thing about resistance is that

It's worst with the things that you really actually want to be doing.

So this is something I've noticed in myself is that I set goals for myself.

I tend to think of myself as a high achiever.
