WOM 011: THE RESISTANCE IS THE WAY

“Only God’s plan for salvation can work for you. Your way must always fail.”

I’ve been thinking about resistance lately. That feeling when you know what needs to happen next in your business, but your body acts like you’re about to be eaten by a tiger.

My thinking the past few years has been that resistance meant I needed to push through. That if I just understood the pattern, named the fear, and took the step anyway, I’d break through to the other side.

But Lesson One of The Way of The Heart teaches something that is pointing to something else.

Jeshua says: “Only God’s plan for salvation can work for you. Your way must always fail.”

The resistance isn’t there for you to overcome. It’s there to show you where you’re still trying to run the show.

When you feel that paralysis before hitting publish, before raising your rates, before launching the thing, your first instinct is to figure out how to push through it. To strategize. To use willpower or understanding or technique.

But that’s still operating from the illusion that YOU are the one who must figure it out. That YOUR way forward is what matters.

The question changes from “How do I overcome this?” to “What would You have me do?”

Sometimes the resistance IS the guidance. Not yet. Not this way. Not from this energy.

Sometimes it’s ego’s last stand before a deeper surrender.

Either way, the answer isn’t more effort. It’s more trust.

This is where business becomes sacred. When you stop treating resistance as the enemy and start seeing it as the invitation to surrender. When every stuck moment becomes a chance to practice “Not my will, but Thine.”
