Your cherished dreams are born in a state of inspiration, and nurturing that sense of inspiration is a skill everybody needs to learn. Inspiration points you at your own genius, your own unique gifts and talents, and your purpose in life. But inspiration has a twin, shallow force called resistance. Whilst you have the capacity for being perpetually inspired, you also have the capacity to resist your inspiration. Resistance is the unconscious force through which you self sabotage, defeat yourself, talk yourself out of your brilliant ideas and by which you don’t follow through on becoming what you are.
Resistance is trying to keep you small. It is the voice inside you which asks you to keep everything as it is now and tries to convince you that any change would be even worse than the current situation. Resistance hates being adventurous and courageous, and anything out of the ordinary gives it a reason to resist. Resistance does not want you to take any kind of risks since that could mean the status quo might change.
Resistance thrives on you staying aware of it so it can do its work. Whilst you may not be conscious of resistance, it is something you cannot ignore. With awareness and skillfulness, your inspiration can always trump your resistance. Your power of inspiration is greater than your force of resistance.
Are you feeding inspiration or resistance? Accept resistance and learn to overcome it. Resistance is like fire; a good servant but a terrible master. One of the best ways to learn to handle your resistance is to talk to like-minded people. Ask for their help and chances are that they will share their wisdom and knowledge with you. Education will also provide you with tools to live with your resistance as well as make you more knowledgeable about yourself. And the better you know yourself, the easier it is to keep resistance where it belongs: hidden and locked away in a non-resistant territory.
Question 1: What do you think is the reason behind your resistance?
Question 2: If resistance did not exist, what would you do?
Question 3: What kind of baby steps you can take today in order to move forward?

Being an entrepreneur is a journey inside myself to find out how far I can go and particularly what I can achieve in my life. To me it is really a dream coming true and I would like to share my experience with other people who are perhaps thinking of starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur. I am particularly interested in giving a helping hand by showing how ideas can become good ideas.
