You can achieve your dreams. However, if you don’t find a way to face resistance, your dreams will never become a reality.

“Resistance is not there to stop you, but to strengthen you. Embrace the challenges and rise above. GRIT don’t quit.” – Kristianne Wargo

The K.I.S.S. ~ G.R.I.T. don’t quit!

Growth Requires Intentional Tenacity

Resistance has a way of increasing the possibility of quitting. But in order to grow and achieve success, you must have the mindset of being intentional and persistent in your efforts.

G.R.I.T. emphasizes the need to be proactive, purposeful, and present in pursuing personal and professional growth. By being intentional with your words and actions, and consistently putting in the effort, you can overcome obstacles and reach your goals, all with GRIT!

What does this look like in the real world?

1. Embrace the Power of Persistence

Persistence is key in the face of resistance. It’s important to remember that success rarely comes easy. This is where the power of resilience comes into play. Instead of giving in to the challenges that arise, see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Every setback can be seen as a step forward in disguise. As the saying goes, “When one door closes, another one opens.” Embrace the power of persistence and keep pushing forward, even when it seems impossible.

2. Cultivate a Positive Mindset

One of the most effective ways to overcome resistance is by cultivating a positive mindset. Your mindset plays a crucial role in how you perceive and react to challenges. Instead of viewing obstacles as roadblocks, train your mind to see them as stepping stones towards success. Focus on the opportunities that lie within the difficulties, rather than dwelling on the setbacks. Adopt a “can-do” attitude and surround yourself with positive influences. As the Scripture says, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

3. Seek Support and Guidance

We all need support and guidance when facing resistance. Reach out to mentors, friends, or fellow dream-chasers who have experienced similar challenges. Their wisdom and insight can provide a fresh perspective and help you develop effective strategies to overcome obstacles. Additionally, consider seeking divine guidance. In times of difficulty, turn to your faith and seek solace in God’s plans. Trust in His timing and lean on His strength. As the Scripture says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Facing resistance is an inevitable part of pursuing your dreams. Embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, and persist in your journey. Cultivate a positive mindset and surround yourself with positive influences. Seek support and guidance from mentors and those who have walked the same path.

Remember, resistance only makes you stronger. Rise above the hurdles, and keep moving forward toward the fulfillment of your dreams. Trust in the process, keep the faith, and let the resistance propel you to new heights of success.
