The Way Forward

Resistance in life is an indication of progress; it is important I mention this since most people interpret resistance (what some people call challenges or problems) as a bad thing. For those who experienced Physics in their secondary school days, the electric circuit may paint a good picture of the importance of resistance to producing useful electricity in the home; without resistance, there will be no voltage; without voltage, there will be no flow of electrons (electric current).

The force motivating electrons to «flow» in a circuit is called voltage. When we speak of a certain amount of voltage being present in a circuit, we are referring to the measurement of how much potential energy exists to move electrons from one particular point in that circuit to another particular point. Without reference to two particular points, the term «voltage» has no meaning. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage.

It is imperative we understand this concept when we are talking about moving forward in life especially from one reference point to another.
