Resistance is Futile - it will get you exactly what you don't want

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Sept. 12, 2018 - PRLog -- A great way to appreciate why resistance is not an approach that will get you what you want is to think of "resistance training" for the body.  Resistance training (often known as strength training or weight training) is anything that places resistance on the body and requires the body to create an internal tension to counter the force.

The truth is that when you are "resisting" anything, you are building its strength.  Just like resistance training for the body strengthens the muscles receiving the resistance, so resisting a person or situation you do not like actually adds to its strength.  If we apply this idea to things going on in our world it is easy to see that we may be approaching situations in a way that will be less likely to generate the results that we want.

With so many of us "fighting" one thing or another in today's world, the case of Donald Trump provides a perfect example.  It does not matter whether you are for or against him except in how those feelings inspire you to act.  The strength of Donald Trump is that even with all of the controversy he consistently puts forward a vision of success and improvement.  It makes no difference if what he says is "true" or not.  It is the directing of energy that is important – he is a master at controlling the story line.  What so many fail to realize is that "truth" is a matter of perception and belief  which is not necessarily based on anything that has actually happened.  The biggest problem for Donald Trump right now is that he has allowed himself to get caught up in the resistance – he is fighting back. This will be his undoing.  If he could just choose to ignore all the resistance, the balance of energy would stay on his side, but he feels a need to defend himself.  Resistance is futile.

So what should those who have been investing so much energy in resisting Donald Trump do?  They must create a story that inspires people to believe in a new and improved reality. Resisting Donald Trump only strengthens him.  This is the real reason Hillary Clinton failed to beat Mr. Trump in the election – she never adequately developed "her" story for a better future.  She was all about resisting Trump.

Here is what the Democratic Party must do if they are to shift the momentum in new directions: they must start creating a picture of the world they want.  They must stop fighting Trump and begin to convince us they have a better vision of the future.  Create a new and improved narrative and the old stories will get played out.  Resistance is futile.
