Join me for a discussion about what it means to resist evil and to declare no resistance. In his book *The War of Art*, Steven Pressfield explains that resistance is protean; it will take on any form necessary to deceive you. That is why we must resist resistance. Pressfield states that resistance has no conscience—it will promise anything to get its way, then betray you when you least expect it. I appreciate this perspective and find it rewarding that someone else understands my daily struggle. If you’re a Bible reader, you’ll recognize the idea of resisting the devil; as it says, "resist the devil and he will flee from you." To be frank, resistance is like the devil. It is the barrier separating the life you currently lead from the life you desire to live. Steven Pressfield puts it like this, "To yield to resistance deforms our spirit."  He says, Standing between the life you live and the life you want to live is resistance." So how do we recognize resistance and, more importantly, what does it take to flee resistance? Is resistance a state of mind? I believe it is. Let's talk about it. Prepare to be challenged in thought. So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let's unpack the complexities of resistance together from seed to cup. It's time to break through the blocks. "I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME, AND TOGETHER WE ARE." #connect2thrive2025
