The more important a call to action is to our soul's evolution, the more Resistance we will feel about answering it. But to yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Resistance is thought transformed into feeling. Change the thought that creates the resistance, and there is no more resistance.
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
The spiritual is the cause of action. Action is life.
As powerful as is our soul's call, so potent are the forces of Resistance arrayed against it. We're not alone if we've been mowed down by Resistance; millions of good men and women have bitten the dust before us.
It seems pretentious to assume that we are not creatures of action. I think often it takes a situation of extreme absurdity, extreme action, to push us to the limits of what our character is, and to change us as people.
We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
The entire aim of my work is to elevate the human spirit. We can put the human spirit down so easily.
Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
Nothing makes it easier to resist temptation than a proper bringing-up, a sound set of values - and witnesses.
There's nothing more nourishing to the spirit than doing what you feel called to do.
