“The Resistance” is a powerful force. It has been conditioned into you since your very first breath; and it will surround you until your last.  But “The Resistance” can be overcome and beaten. It takes time, endurance, emotional strength and mental toughness; but it is a battle that can and must be won.   So, what is “The Resistance” anyway? “The Resistance” is what Robert Keegan from Harvard calls “Socialized Mind.” “The Resistance” is all the doubts, limiting self-belief and self-image, lack of self-confidence, insecurities, fears, impatience, lack of faith and all other limitations that have been programmed into us. “The Resistance” is a formidable opponent. It will not die quickly or easily; and it must be continually fought and overcome.

When you choose to pursue your own greatness, please do not expect others to support you. They will not. For you represent the courage that they do not have.

While it may seem that we need to eliminate “The Resistance,” this is not the case. Nor is it even possible. Even a cursory understanding of Ohm’s Law from electricity, proves that the greater “The Resistance,” the greater the output. Coupled with the greater the force you bring against it, “The Resistance” is your supreme ally. Bottom line, there will always be resistance; and the greater you push against it, the greater the results you achieve.

When stepping through your own door to leadership and greatness, you will be met by thousands of sentinels whose sole purpose is to guard the gates of the past.

There are a multitude of powers with a vested interest in keeping you dumped down, stupefied, hypnotized and asleep. Your job as a true leader is to not allow them to do their job. This means you must continually battle. Every day is a day to rise up, stand up, and Take Your Power Back! To go into the arena and fight! And of course, the greatest battle is internal not external. Every day is a day to commit and recommit to “Lead Your Life” and “Lead Your Business,” for you realize that the world desperately needs more “Leaders and Free Thinkers.”

If your primary objective is a new house, car, or level of income, you are not a free thinker. You are a slave of socialized mind.

Make your difference… Make your impact… Live a good life… And make “Truly Living” your prime objective. Break free of the chains of money and market and make them your slave versus you being theirs. Recognize your own personal gifts and genius… Realize what makes you happy and fulfilled… Live Your Own Life. Take Your Power Back. Now is the time. It is the only time there is. Lead! Or follow the masses and get completely lost in them. It is your choice and the choice must be made. Be a Leader; Live Your Purpose; and Take Your Power Back!
