Ever wonder why you know exactly what you want to do but somehow can't make yourself do it? Your brain might be working against you in ways you never realized.

In this episode, Kam Knight, a mentor, international speaker, and author of over a dozen books who has traveled to more than 100 countries. We dive deep into the concept of internal resistance - that mysterious force that holds us back even when we're motivated and know what steps to take. Kam explains how our brains have separate systems for creating desires and allowing us to act on them, why wanting something too badly can actually make it harder to achieve, and the sneaky tricks our minds use to keep us procrastinating. We explore everything from authority issues rooted in childhood to the dangerous lie of "I'll do it later" and why resistance often shows up strongest when we're about to succeed.

Tune in to discover how to recognize when your own mind is sabotaging your progress and what you can do to work with your brain instead of against it.

BEST MOMENTS:

"The part of the brain that creates desires works independent of the part that allows you to act on the desire."

"When our wants grow, so does our resistance. And our resistance growing makes our wants grow even more."

"As soon as you hear your brain saying later or next, know that you're likely and resistant and your brain is trying to push it off until you either forget or get too busy."

"Anything that is holding you back or keeping you from doing what it is that you want to do is a trick of resistance."

"It almost sounds like something else that I've heard that if you want something, but you let go of attachment to the Outcome... Chances are you may get that thing faster than if you were attached to the outcome."

"So if later doesn't have a date... then you don't have a date with later."
