If you find yourself halted midstream and being met with resistance at every turn, consider changing what you do or who you do it with.  Resistance always has meaning.  That doesn’t mean never do that thing and never hang with that person.  It just means now is not a productive time to do that thing or hang with that person.  A false start loses momentum for a reason.  Maybe you are meant to accomplish that task free from the karma of the other involved. Maybe you’re meant to bring that person back into the project after you’ve laid the foundation firmly yourself.  When Life begins throwing up roadblocks and waving red flags, pause. Take a break from the situation.  Take a break from those people. You know who they are. Take a break from those you feel responsible for. A break will allow you to realize how powerful and resourceful they are without you. When you see their power and they begin to react to your seeing them as a person with power, the dynamics between you will change. You will be able to accomplish many things, alone and together. The essential thing is to PAUSE and step back from your situation. Take a BREAK from it and from everyone involved. Don’t talk to anyone about it during the break, just be busily involved elsewhere.  Resistance always has meaning.  When you’re getting red flags and roadblocks, when your mobility is being halted, step out of someone else’s karma and see what doors open to you that would not have opened otherwise.
