The Purpose of Resistance

Resistance

Why do we often have resistance come up when we set ourselves goals?
Is there any purpose to this and if so why does it sometimes have to be so difficult?

I often ask myself this question and at times it can seem unfair that the road to achieving goals can be really tough. Then I have to remind myself that the bigger the goal and purpose, the bigger the obstacles will be.

Why? Well the one way I understand this is to liken it to exercise training. If we lift measly little weights that don’t push us at all then we are highly unlikely to achieve our goal. We have to lift a weight that is slightly tough and out of our comfort zone and the same goes for any other goal. To grow in to the person we want to be, we need some resistance.

If we remember that resistance is there to help us grow it makes any challenges easier and if anything as with exercise we can begin to find these challenges fun. Really it is always about our journey and our growth is a main part. When we become too fixated on any end goal, this is when we forget this and it becomes harder. With this we can also then unintentionally forget feeling good and having fun in the process, so I figured that resistance is good as long as we don’t resist the resistance 🙂

Life is always training

Growth

We can not wish or hope for someone else to take our journey,
It is up to us to take action and win,
We can not hope for it to be easy, for then it will not push us on
To stretch ourselves is to learn and grow,
To be and become something far more than we are now

We need to keep on growing, to do this we need to push on
To push to be this person, this person we know we can become
So resistance is not to be scared of, but a challenge that we must take on
It will then be our greatest ally, once we realise it is there to help us win

Living at the Cause

357

I’m re- posting this as it was around this time last year and it serves as powerful a reminder right now of the importance of personal power, one of intentionally creating in each moment, every single day.

We all have far more power over our lives than we sometimes realise, it’s just a matter of choosing where our focus goes. A daily practice however always.

Much Love,

Miranda

Living at the Cause.

Oneness

All beauty exists here and now,
Beneath all form of shadow and doubt
Beneath all fear and false pretence
Lies this beauty in complete oneness
This truth we can easily forget,
It’s who we are at the core of everything
We lose this knowledge when we focus on gain,
In greed and falseness that only lead to pain,
We cover this truth with all we think is beauty
Forgetting all we really need already lies within
Here is the source, our real true selves
All the beauty we need; all the real wealth
~ M. L Adams

Let’s never forget all we really are ❤

 

Purpose

Purpose is focus,
All else is secondary
I will learn who to trust,
Who will come and who will go
In what is right, here and now,
From the depths of my soul,
Then all else will fall away;
Until I reach my ultimate goal

~ M.L.Adams

Be Yourself

Be yourself, express who you are,
You know what works for you better than anyone else
Do what works, forget what doesn’t,
When others criticise just continue on

You know what works and you are on your way
You will reach the peak then others will say;
How did you do it , how did you make it?

Then you will know that the way was only to listen to you,
To truly follow your heart,
Being yourself in all you do

~ M.L.Adams

Being ourselves is when we truly feel in Flow and when we are at our best.
I want to thank you all for the encouragement in doing this and for doing the same too. Miranda ❤

Opportunity

Every difficulty can be an opportunity;

Every struggle can be a strength,

It is what you choose to focus on

That will really get you through anything,

To a place where you thought you would never be;

To a place where your more than you’ve ever been

~ M.L.Adams

This is written with the belief and knowledge that every and any problem can actually be an opportunity, It all depends on our focus.

Sometimes the answer isn’t clear at first but there can always be a higher purpose if that is what you seek.

Creativity – Our Calling

I know that many of you will appreciate this so much so I wanted to share it with you,

I have until now been largely keeping my creativity and profession as a health coach separate from each other. Then after a coaching session with amazing poet and speaker George Hardwick yesterday I have realised that it is absolutely essential to bring my whole self together in what I do.

It is too often believed that we can not make something of our creativity or that we must separate the different parts of our lives, but this is no longer so. Now is really the time that we can be our whole true selves and we can bring the most value to others in doing so.

So I see this as my mission from here forward, to be my whole self in all I do, in giving and creating from the heart.
Please let me know your own thoughts on this too and check out George’s TED Talk video below, it is truly inspiring and thought provoking.

Thank you

Miranda ❤

Covering

Layers upon Layers of covering that means nothing

Layers upon Layers in our world just creates suffering

Inside & Outside; covering beauty

Covering all our deep truth &  all there really is to see

This covering only hides us from all that’s really true,

Take away all the covering & there you’ll find; The real you

~ M.L.Adams

 

 

Amazement

There are times in life so amazing
So amazing they feel untrue
Yet they are real, really real
There right in front of you

These times are treasures to behold
Of gifts in life that do unfold,
When you held on there for so long
Trusting this time would come for you

Then this feeling of amazement;
Hard to believe it, is it real
You held on there for so long,
Holding, hoping, never knowing

Now it’s here, it’s really here
Such amazement, it’s really here
A state of wonder, a state of beauty
Thank you so much for this moment right here

It’s really possible, its really real
Hold on always in strong faith
Your dream it can really come true,
Your moment will come;
This much I know now is so true

~ M.L.Adams
