Most of us have two lives: the life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.
Are you a writer who doesn't write? A painter who doesn't paint? An entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what resistance is. Resistance is the most toxic force on the planet; to yield to resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and we're born to be.
If you believe in God - and I do - you must declare resistance evil, for it prevents us from achieving the life God intended when he endowed each of us with our own unique genius. Genius is a Latin word; the Romans used it to denote an inner spirit, holy and inviolable, which watches over us, guiding us to our calling. A writer writes with his genius, an artist paints with hers. Everyone who creates operates from the sacramental center. It is our soul's seat, the vessel that holds our being in potential; our star's beacon and Polaris.
