Depression and anxiety may be real. But they can also be Resistance.

We get ourselves in trouble because it's a cheap way to get attention. Ill health is a form of trouble. As are alcoholism and drugs.

Rationalization's job is to keep us from feeling the shame we would feel if we truly faced what cowards we are for not doing our work.

Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.

Casting yourself as a victim is the antithesis of doing your work. Don't do it. If you're doing it, stop.

Resistance obstructs movement only from a lower sphere to a higher.

Procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it's the easiest to rationalize. I'm just going to start tomorrow...

Resistance knows the more psychic energy we spend dredging the tired, boring injustices of our lives, the less juice we have to do our work.

There's no mystery to turning pro. It's a decision brought about by an act of will. We make up our mind and we do it. Simple as that.

The more empty you feel, the more certain you can be that your true motivation was not love or even lust but Resistance.

Resistance by definition is self-sabotage. But there's a parallel peril that must also be guarded against: sabotage by others.
