Resistance

As soon as you want to progress,
you immediately meet the resistance of everything
that does not to progress
both in you and around you.
And this resistance naturally expresses itself
in all the thoughts that correspond to it.
-Mirra Alfassa, "The Mother"
 
All resistance bears within it
the seeds of growth, experience, and wisdom.
-Steve Maraboli
 
If I have resistance to something
it means there's something wrong.
The resistance to me is a sign of fear.
-Billy Corgan
 
Your resistance to change is likely to reach its peak
when significant change is imminent.
-George Leonard
 
Resistance to the disturbance
is the disturbance.
-Vernon Howard
 
Whatever you resist, persists.
-Robert Anthony
 
Paralyze resistance with persistence.
-Woody Hayes
 
At any moment we can let go of the resistance
enough to draw light in, so that we can live fully.
-Chris Griscom
 
When the resistance is gone,
so are the demons.
-Pema Chodron
