But like I&#8217;ve said before, though&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caitlincady.com\/blogs\/blog\/the-biggest-failure-is-the-person-who-never-tries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resistance tells you it&#8217;s keeping you safe, it&#8217;s really keeping you small.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>\n<h3>MIXED SIGNALS<\/h3>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Nonetheless, resistance is an important messenger. You just need to learn to interpret the signals differently. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When you notice resistance pop up (it looks like procrastination, self-doubt, self-sabotage, seeking out distractions, waffling, and hestitating), pay attention. Look it in the eye. But instead of interpreting resistance as a&nbsp;bad&nbsp;sign (you know, things like&#8230; &#8220;this isn&#8217;t the right thing for me&#8221; or &#8220;maybe the timing just isn&#8217;t right&#8221; or I guess I&#8217;m not really cut out for this&#8221; or &#8220;see, I&#8217;m not good enough or worthy enough&#8221;), start to see it as a <em>great<\/em> sign.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>RESISTANCE ISN&#8217;T A STOP SIGN, IT&#8217;S A GREAT SIGN<\/h3>\n<p>Resistance isn&#8217;t a sign that you should stop. It&#8217;s a sign that you should GO.&nbsp;It&#8217;s a signal you that you&#8217;re really on to something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Resistance tells you that what stands before you is a bonafide opportunity. A call for expansion. A shot at showing up and shining in a wonderful new way.&nbsp;Resistance is a beacon,&nbsp;guiding you towards actualising everything you are capable of &#8211;&nbsp; A.K.A. your full potential.<\/p>\n<h3>Your potential is on the other side of the resistance.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><span>So when you next notice resistance pop up,&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;back down. Give yourself the go-ahead.&nbsp;<\/span><span>Stop wasting all that energy dancing around the fire of resistance and instead, walk through it.&nbsp;<\/span><span>Let the flames burn away your doubt and fear. What will be left is the truth of you: limitless possibility, boundless will, courageous action.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>MOVING THROUGH RESISTANCE IS A MUSCLE<\/h3>\n<p>Once you break through the seal of resistance, the rest is easy. You&#8217;ll be unstoppable. Because even when&nbsp;resistance shows up again, you&#8217;ll know what to do: breakthrough. Moving through resistance is a muscle. Every time you choose to walk through resistance instead of turning away from it, you melt another layer of self-doubt and build your strength and resolve. You uplevel. You progress. You get closer to your highest self, your fullest potential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span>STOP LETTING RESISTANCE RUN YOUR SHIT.&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>So my friend, it&#8217;s time to stop letting resistance run your shit. Bite the bullet. Sit down. Sketch it out. Make the call. Write it down. Press send. Raise your hand. Start the damn thing. Finish the damn thing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>FULL POTENTIAL AWAITS.&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Because&nbsp;you are bigger than&nbsp;the resistance you feel. And your full potential is waiting on the other side.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>\n<h6><span>DIG THIS?
