Resistance is futile ...

. . . Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. . . " - Locutus of Borg/Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation, episode The Best Of Both Worlds (1990).

I’m not a treky - but I do love that phrase. It rings true. Your life as it has been is over as you allow yourself movement without resisting yourself, without hesitation and with trust in yourself.

That's a good thing.

Resisting yourself on the other hand can take on many forms.

Do you resist and deny yourself that which you offer to others? Are you loving and gentle with the local kitty cat but mean and harsh to yourself? Are you always ready without a moment’s hesitation to serve the needs of everyone in dialing distance yet resist exploring your own needs? Do you reach out to give everyone the benefit of the doubt except yourself? Do you resist or ignore your own inner voice?

Getting in touch with your own personal power is practically synonymous with accepting and trusting yourself.

Resisting yourself, on the other hand, is not only pointless, inefficient and stressful, but it’s also no fun!

No doubt, resistance is futile ...
