Breakthroughs and Inner resistance

Our life is divided into two halves, one lived and one unlived!

In the unlived life, notice how many of us want to start going for a walk/jog everyday, but end up giving up after few days. Some start diet plans to be given up soon. Some want to be painters, some want to learn a music instrument and some want to start a business, but their want just remains a wish!! What stops us is what I call as Inner resistance.

In the lived life, notice how many of us learned to ride a bicycle even after falling for many times. How at times we have overcame barriers and achieved what we had set to achieve, be it a financial goal of buying a house, securing our children's future or a personal goal of completing a marathon or weight loss. This achievement which we have got overcoming internal or external barriers is what I call as breakthroughs!

Characteristics of a Breakthrough

• One feels alive and feels life is worth living
• Actions are natural
• A positive mindset, Mind is still and clear (clarity)
• You feel connected to the world and people

Characteristics of Inner resistance

• It is internal and not external
• Procrastination is often associated with Inner resistance
• Pulls one down - especially emotionally
• Has lot of negativity
• Stories emerge justifying the resistance
• Mind is a mess and one goes into depression

Question that I am putting for us is to explore,
whether right now at this moment, are we aware (and not focused) of our Inner resistances and whether are we living our possibilities to achieve breakthroughs?
