Previously, I had written on some of the make money online excuses people make to impede their progression and success in the field. Many people do not end up making money either because they are lazy, or they allow cynicism and doubt to prevent themselves from achieving their goals to make money. Another reason that I personally have come to realize, which can result in huge barriers being erected, is part of what learning zero resistance living has taught me. Sometimes when we strive towards our goals and get blindsided by various situations that life throws at us, we choose the easy way out and blame it on everything but ourselves. In truth, many situations which we accuse of sabotaging our attempts at success are nothing but the end results of what the very choices that we make consciously.

Let’s say we have made work plans for today and then along comes someone from your family that asks for a favor. Unfortunately, the favor requires your time and requires it now. Even worse, it will cause great disruption in your planned schedule to make money. But you go ahead and do it anyway. Later when you fail to meet your work objectives, the blame starts being pinned on having to help others and them getting in your way. The fact is you allow things to get in the way and then press the fault on them, not on the fact that you made a choice to sacrifice your time.

Now that might be an extreme example. A milder and more common one, but no less damaging, is that of checking your emails before the start of your day, and tending to the 101 tasks that come to you from that. Yes, there will be things that need to get done when you receive them via emails, but if you have had something planned ahead, then concentrate on what was planned first. By choosing to go the other way, you are allowing things to get in your path when it was just as simple to tell them “Wait, let me work on my scheduled tasks first.” Consider a circumstance that if it happened to someone else. If you were an advocate of living with zero resistance, you might not have tolerated the excuses given that obliterated their daily planned schedules which make money. Sure enough, there would always be urgent issues that require dropping everything on hand immediately (e.g. death in the family, emergencies). But if I were to find myself now going, “I could have done this already if not for this incident getting in my way”, I would slap myself silly.

By not allowing things to get in my way, I also eliminate the unnecessary frustration that comes with blaming others for my own failures. At the risk of sounding selfish, understand what your priorities are in life. If you really want success, some sacrifices have to be made. If it is to make money online from home, that can put you in a situation with many distractions. Everything you do is a conscious decision made by yourself. Of course, some choices you will live to regret, some you would be glad you made when reflecting 50 years down the road. But life also loves throwing curveballs in your way just as much as Roger Clemens wants to do with his legacy now, so oftentimes you just have to do what is most important at that point in time. If you need to veer away from your intended path temporarily, make the necessary arrangements to still meet the preset goals. For me, that is what it really means to let nothing get in my way of achieving what I aim for and zero resistance living.
