		<description><![CDATA[In a recent post (Resistance is Futile&#8230;NOT!), we looked at identifying resistance that could result in sabotaging our goals. The resistance we discussed is not the stuff we encounter from the outside world &#8211; friends, family, competitors, environment and such.

Now, the truth is, most people don&#8217;t consciously recognize their own resistance. As a result, they don&#8217;t acknowledge that they have it.
