A Huge Lesson I've Learned That Allows Me to Receive Huge Results

Things that bother us ... are the very things that we resist. The very fact that we're resisting them means that that is PRECISELY the door behind which hides PRECISELY what our hearts desire! Do you follow me on this one?

It wasn't easy for me to get my head wrapped around it, either, but here's the scoop:

Whenever you're digging your heels in about something, it's because your "gremlin", your "subconscious mind", is causing you to dig your heels in ... to stop you from going forward. The going forward is precisely what will take you into that which your heart desires ... and your "gremlin", your "subconscious mind" fears its survival ... and your survival. Your flourishing threatens your "gremlin;" and this is simply because you've never been there before. It's simply fear of the unknown!

I'll give you a clear, and hopefully simple, example:

When I first hung out my shingle in September 2003 my dear entrepreneurial friends were telling me that to become successful as a professional coach I would have to travel ... to Toronto and Montreal, at least ... because our area is so bloody conservative I would never make it otherwise.

I had just been travelling and living in other continents from 1998, by choice, and had become somewhat tired of travelling. I proudly and emphatically announced: I will not have to travel. I will become successful nonetheless. And I did become successful without travelling. I've "bragged" about that numerous times over the years. The funny thing is that because I was so stubborn about travelling I delayed connecting with the numerous people I'm now serving through MLJ Coaching International.

With my heightened awareness of my resistance, I could give you many examples such as this one, some I'm still experiencing to this day ... but I'll spare you. Suffice to say that since I resumed frequent travelling, with the pregnancies of my daughters in 2007, I've been seeing a lot bigger results!

I want to share my faux-pas with you, though, so that you, too, can surrender and side-step that which you resist ... because the mere fact that you are resisting stepping into whatever it is is proof that that which your heart desires is on the other side! Isn't that cool?
