Why is 'Make Your Desire Greater than Your Resistance' Important?

Many people have big dreams but struggle to make them happen because they let resistance—whether it’s fear, procrastination, or limiting beliefs—hold them back. Let’s talk about the top 5 problems that arise when people don’t make their desire strong enough to break through resistance:

1. Lack of Motivation: When resistance becomes stronger than your desire, it’s easy to lose the motivation to keep going.
    
   • Example: You set a goal to get fit, but you keep putting off going to the gym because the desire to be healthy isn’t stronger than the comfort of staying on the couch.

1. Procrastination: Without a clear, strong desire driving you forward, procrastination takes over, leaving goals unachieved.
    
   • Example: You want to start a business, but you keep delaying taking the first steps because the fear of failure overpowers your desire for success 
2. Self-Doubt: When resistance like fear or self-doubt sets in, people begin to question if their goals are even possible, often leading to giving up entirely.
    
   • Example: You start writing a book, but then you stop halfway, thinking you’re not a good enough writer to finish it.
3. Fear of Failure: If the desire isn’t greater than the fear, the fear wins, causing people to avoid taking risks.
    
   • Example: You dream of public speaking but avoid every opportunity because you’re afraid of embarrassing yourself.
4. Inconsistent Effort: Without a strong desire, it’s hard to put in consistent effort, leading to slow or no progress.
    
   • Example: You start practicing meditation, but you skip days because the short-term discomfort feels bigger than your desire for long-term peace.

Top 3 Solutions to Overcome Resistance:

Now, how can we make sure that our desire is stronger than our resistance? Here are three solutions that can help you move past your obstacles:

1. Clarify Your "Why": Understanding the deep reason behind your goal makes it easier to keep going, even when resistance arises. When your “why” is powerful, resistance feels small in comparison.
    
   • Example: If your goal is to run a marathon, focus on why you’re doing it. Maybe it’s for your health, or to prove to yourself that you can accomplish something big.
2. Break Goals into Small Steps: Resistance can feel overwhelming if you focus on the entire journey. Breaking it into small, manageable steps makes it easier to push through each day.
    
   • Example: If you’re writing a book, don’t focus on finishing the entire manuscript. Focus on writing one page a day. Small victories build momentum.
