To walk this life without adversaries might mean that you have not yet started living your dream. When you start pursuing your dream you will realize that not all people are with you really. Most of the successful people whom you see today have faced great resistance from different angles.
If you look at it carefully you will find that resistance comes mainly in 3 forms. That is family, society and companions. If you look in the bible, Joseph was hated by his brothers because He was a visionary and he knew his purpose in life. It is not the negatives people will say to you that will make the you, but rather the strong
Accept that not all people love you and want to see you succeed, it is a fact that you should know. After accepting that do not allow what they say to effect where you are going. Take what they say as advice.
FAMILY
Always love your family with all your heart. Family is the best gift that you ever had, do not allow them to brush away your dream. Hold on to your dream no matter what they may say to you. Even if they have their strong reasons why you will never do what you want, never fall away from your purpose. If you are destined to be a politician, musician or artist do not think it's going to be a smooth sail, some of your family members will give you all the reasons why you can't do it... You are going to face adversaries, move on towards your dream.
BE that musician
Be that engineer
BE that lawyer
BE that president.
Love your family, but do not allow them to derail you from your purpose in life.
Resistance will always come, the way you are going to act after facing that resistance is going to determine your progress.
SOCIETY
You are living in a place where the world is somehow afraid to be daring, when they see you treading where it has never been treaded they would want to watch and see how far you will go. In this same world there are also other people who are willing to walk with you and believe in you. Walk with those that believe in you and leave those that don't to watch the space. The only way to fight resistance from the society is to believe in yourself and the power of your imagination.
Society has its own way of seeing things, a goal oriented, purpose driven person has his own way of seeing things. Purpose driven people always turn lemons into lemonade.
COMPANIONS
Some people come into your life not to befriend you but to be your frenemies, be weary of those. Nothing good comes from their mouth except discouragements. When you are surrounded with such a people know that you are alone.
You know what? Even if they discourage you, keep your calm and stay focused. Know your goals, your friends did not write your goals, they did not see the vision. Yes they might try to mislead you, but refuse to be led astray.
All I am saying is, most of the people who are successful today faced some form of resistance somewhere. Resistance is a strong force, that if you do not know how to handle it you ruin your life forever. Turn resistance to your advantage.
"The path of least resistance is the path of the loser."~ H. G Wells
"The way I see it, it is impossible to change things without encountering resistance."~ Evo Morales
Stand out from those who resist you and suppress your dreams. You have the power within you to do great and might things. Have a full realization that you are the change you want, it begins in your heart and then it manifests in the physical.
Resistance is a sign that you are on the right course. The moment you just flow without facing resistance ask yourself this question, "Am I still following my dream?" Because usually your dream is exclusive to you and no one really understands it. You can make it, it is very possible to reach where you want to be. After all is said and done, you were created to be a conqueror; so be that conqueror.
To me the greatest joy of life, is living a purpose driven life. A life where you know you are progressing and focusing on your goals. That is what I call living.
It is a known fact that the more you pursue your dreams the more most people run away from you. It is wise not to allow yourself to be disturbed by their fleeing, flock together with those who share the same vision as yours and those who appreciate you.
