What you resist You persist

What you resist You persist.
Understanding the laws of attraction and least resistance.
by Barbara Pellegrino


Have you heard the saying what you resist, persists? When you understand how the law of attraction works you will realize that what you resist and how you resist will only cause it to continue in your life. If you push against something, by the natural law, it will push back against you.

If you choose to resist, you are choosing for it to persist. Whatever energy you put out into the Universe, will come back to you, in fact some disciplines say that what you put out you will get back multifold - multiplied or expanded many times.

The law of attraction states “Like attracts like” and the Universal Genie, as referred to in the DVD, The Secret, can only give you the experiences of your life; events, places people and things, according to your resonance, your vibration, your energy, which all stem from your predominant thoughts and feelings.

If situations, circumstances and people start to appear in your life, that you don’t want, what do you do? Our natural tendency is to resist, to say no, fight against it and get upset about it.
If you can grasp the concept that these things are residual, like stars that burnt out many years ago, yet we still see their light shine, then you will have the power to create and not react.

Deepak Chopra explains this in his 7 Spiritual Laws to Success; “The law of least resistance”, to judge nothing and be grateful for everything. This is easier said than done, especially when things just aren’t going the way you had planned, hoped for or envisioned.

How do you judge nothing, and be grateful when you feel bad, things aren’t working the way you had planned or imagined? Firstly it is a conscious choice and then it becomes a learned skill and eventually a habit.

1. Choose, to create what you want in that moment.

When you understand that this situation you are currently experiencing is like a burnt out star whose light is still shining and the energy that attracted this to you was released some time in the past. You will have power to not feel helpless, or like a victim and be able to consciously choose how you will think and feel from this moment on.

2. Learn a new skill - What can I be grateful for in this moment?

Ask yourself the question and listen for the answer. Some people ask God, or the Universe or their own subconscious mind or higher self. Ask whatever you believe the universal consciousness to be, the magic is in the asking. Its a distraction technique for the mind and allows your intuition to give you the answer and it instantly changes your resonance, your energy, as the focus changes from reaction to creation and gratitude. What goes out must come back, so isn’t it better to send out a vibration of gratitude rather than anger, frustration or disappointment which are highly charged, emotional and powerful vibrations.

If you practice it and eventually master it as a skill, it will become a habit and second nature.
No such thing as problems, only opportunities.

Jim Edwards, Internet Marketing Guru, said the one question that has made him the most money is “What’s the opportunity?”

You may say, there’s no opportunity, this is a disaster! Everything is ruined!

Yet, all the motivational speakers say that this is the time that you can dig deep down inside and get in touch with your immense inner power. This is the power that is referred to when a Grandmother has the strength to lift a car of a child.

When you ask for the benefit, the blessing, the opportunity in this situation, it firstly changes your energy to that of curiosity rather than negativity and sets your powerful subconscious mind off in the direction of seeking out any potential benefit or opportunity.

The difference between a lucky and unlucky person is that “lucky people are “skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self fulfilling prophecies via positive expectations and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.”

Exerpt from All the Money in the world by Peter W. Bernstein & Annalyn Swan

When you choose to resist nothing, be grateful for everything and be curious as to where the opportunities lie, you will be amazed at how quickly a negative thought, feeling or situation changes.
