"...talking with your hubby about a fight (ugh! do I really have to?!!)"
Thanks for the laugh!
Resistance is not a directive to turn away; it is a golden opportunity to gain strength.
People think that bravery is required in order to do something scary, but the truth is that bravery is the RESULT of doing something scary. Bravery is being scared and doing it anyway. You get brave by doing things that scare you; you get strong by facing and overcoming difficulty.
It's easy to make an analogy to fitness. Just imagine if people said, "When I get stronger, then I'll be able to lift weights." Crazy, right? Same thing with being a hero.You become a hero by listening to and acting upon your heart. Every time you notice resistance to something and you know in your heart you should do it, that's your hero moment. Don't let it slip away.
