Hey everyone. It’s the start of a new week and time to talk about how we can all fight resistance. Resistance being that which stops us from doing the things we were created to do. If you missed previous posts you can find them by clicking the Resistance Fighters link in the categories section. 

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet.

The thing to remember this week in our battles is that despite how it seems, resistance is an internal force.  We quite often will try to blame our struggles to accomplish our goals on things outside of ourselves or our circumstances.  ”If I only had more money”, “if my kids weren’t in the way”, “If only my boss didn’t ride me like that” etc. 

Resistance doesn’t come from these outside opponents it comes from within. We generate it ourselves and use outside excuses to continue giving in and justify it.  It’s important that we accept the responsibility and not cast blame.  We need to examine our lives and get to the root of what is holding us back. 

The last few weeks haven’t gone exactly like I would have liked them to. There have been some external pressures but I can’t really blame them for me not taking the full responsibility in accomplishing my goals.  So this week with God’s help I’m working on changing my attitude so I can  step up and fight the battle in myself.
