Recognizing Resistance to Your Own Good

You desire it, but you block yourself from it.

How do you know you -- or other people in your world -- are shirking from your own Good?

It's usually unconscious.

How do you become more conscious of it then so you can do something about it?

I have a friend from my 20s who lives in Canada now and has been recently messaging me in Facebook to tell me about her life, how her husband left her for another woman 10 years ago, and how she's now only feeling strong enough to address it and wants her marriage to be annulled. She said she'll be home soon to check on her many businesses here, and she'll let me know so we can meet up for more conversations (actually, I just let her talk, and I listen and hold space for her).

Anyway, just last Monday, she messaged me again to let me know she's in our city but she will only be here until Wednesday, and she's travelling again. So, I asked if she wanted to meet up and she said yes. So, we arranged for the meet-up. I set the time I was available for and she said she was okay with that. To equalize our say, I asked her where she wanted to meet up. She didn't respond for a while, and when she did respond, she asked me my own question! Right then and there, I was already struck by how weak and fragmented her energies felt, giving her own powers away unconsciously, considering that she's a wealthy businesswoman of standing in our city! I wondered why she's not using the skills she used to grow her businesses to reign in her own life.

But, no judgment there. We are all in different phases in our journeys. Anyway, long story short, I showed up for our meetup, right on the dot at 5pm at a charming restaurant I ended up suggesting. I waited. After 15 minutes, she still hasn't showed up nor messaged me, so I messaged her. At 30 minutes, no word from nor sign of her still, so I tried calling her. No answer. After an hour, she messaged me back and told me she forgot, with just a "Sorry"! And then a weak, "There was a problem at the office." That was all. I asked her if she was still coming, no prompt answer. So, I finally decided to take my power back and told her I'm going home. I never heard from her again after that. Weird. If this happened to me many years ago, I would have had an angry outburst, lashing out at her for dishonoring me and our commitment to meet up! When you're in full possession of your energies, you honor commitments (a.k.a. energy investments). But, I suddenly saw that I was healed and whole enough to just be annoyed at her now. I also saw how my intuitive insight on the general state of her energies had just been confirmed. She may say she wants to move on from the pain of her husband's betrayal, and wants an annulment, and desired to meetup with me so she can talk more about it and maybe get some advice, but -- there was still inner resistance in her to actually do it!

So her inner resistance created her "forgetfulness" and "the problem at the office" as external blockages.

I actually felt sorry for her and sent up a prayer for more Light and healing energies for her.

As for me, I decided I'd make the best of the situation still, ordered my family's favorite dishes, and took them home for dinner.

This is only an example of how our own resistance to our Good shows up in our external lives, especially once we've decided we're ready to change things for the better.

Inside, some parts of ourselves accustomed to our old comfort zones -- even if they're comfort zones of pain and misery -- are THREATENED by the impending change.

So, let's be more understanding and compassionate with ourselves as we recognize the resistance, and take steps to help our inner, fearful self to move forward by gently holding her hand and clearing the resistance.
