Part 4/9:
The Second Kutsu Principle: Reading Resistance as Valuable Information
Kutsu teaches that resistance can be decoded into actionable insights, reflecting problems that need addressing rather than simply being an impediment. Resistance manifests in three primary forms:
Method Resistance: When the approach to a task feels misaligned.
Timing Resistance: When the moment is unsuitable for the task.
Purpose Resistance: When the task fails to resonate with personal goals or values.
By thoughtfully evaluating resistance through these lenses, individuals can pivot from self-criticism to understanding, vastly enriching their productivity.
