To inform us when she is ready to go out, she rings the little bell hanging from our patio door.
It is a sliding door and go to slide it to the right. It does not budge. I try harder. No movement. One more time, come on, try harder.
Then, I realize that it is first thing in the morning and it is locked. So I unlock it and it slides freely.
I had to smile to myself, because it made me realize how often I experience resistance in life and rather than find a way to unlock it (or even assess the problem), I simply push harder.
Resistance is a necessary part of life, but the invitation is not always "push harder!"
To fly we have to have resistance.
