Spiritual opposition is one of the most overlooked aspects of developing a platform.
This is far more than the resistance (see The War of Art) that Pressfield mentions and warns us to fight. Sometimes we face more than just a battle within.
I imagine that nearly everyone reading this post wants to share their goodness with the word, to make some aspect of people’s lives better. This momentum of ours will not go unopposed, so prepare for it.
There are times when the battle comes from the outside in the form of forces that don’t want us to succeed.
In this podcast I share with you the steps I take to prepare myself for anything that lies ahead.
