Living Your Unlived Life
“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance” ~ Steven Pressfield
Living your unlived life - let’s walk together on the other side of resistance. Thank you Steven Pressfield for overcoming your resistance and sharing this power quote with us.
Can you feel it?
That inner nudge to say, do, act upon something that will genuinely put a smile on your heart and make this world a better place?
Yes this nudge might make a wave in the current cultural narrative. But be different, be uniquely and unapologetically you.
Stand up and stand out, my friend.
Instead of holding back and staying in the familiar, what if you did a trust fall with the universe and went ALL IN on your hearts nudges, callings, communications, creations- your unlived life?
Speaking from personal experience, whenever I go “all in” - in comes resistance. And the resistance is both loud, subtle and convincing. The resistance is an intoxicating cocktail of all the thoughts, limiting beliefs structures and emotions that take us for a ride (if we let it).
The act of noticing resistance, is your step towards freedom and liberation from it. Begin to cultivate a peaceful friendship with what resistance feels like. What thoughts, emotions, behaviors, are in the flow of resistance. Familiarize yourself with it. Get compassionately curious. Notice how resistance visits you every time you try to take a step into the unknown. Only when we become aware of this resistance we can finally realize we are are NOT the resistance and that theres a choice. That choice is to stay in the flow of resistance or let our hearts take us beyond it to see and experience what is on the other side of resistance.
As an outcome, you birth your unlived life, in this physical one.
From here we can learn to fan our own inner flame in order to follow whats on our heart. Imagine what it would feel like for your inner trust to be greater than your need for others to accept you, acknowledge you, validate you, and give you permission. This shift asks you to give yourself that permission, acknowledgment, and self acceptance. Align yourself with people who want to fan your flame, celebrate what your heart is creating, and can hold space for you as you navigate the ebbs and flows of these new waters.
Why do this?
Because you’re choosing love over fear. And love makes us do brave things.
What parts of your unlived life are you ready to experience?

I see you and I love you,
