Law of Resistance

Law of Resistance (noun):

1. A principle suggesting that consistent effort applied against internal or external challenges, such as doubt, fear, or discomfort, generates the momentum necessary for personal growth, achievement, and forward movement.

2. In a broader context, it refers to the idea that resistance, rather than being an obstacle, can be harnessed as a force to propel one toward higher levels of success, much like how an airplane generates lift by pushing against wind resistance.

How it works:
Internal Resistance as Wind:

- Challenges and obstacles (internal and external) act like the wind in flight. They create pressure and friction, but when harnessed correctly, they become tools for growth and personal evolution.

- Consistent effort and action represent the airplane's engines. The more we actively engage with resistance, the more power we generate to move forward.

- By facing and pushing against resistance consistently, we create "lift" in our lives—overcoming stagnation and rising above limitations.
"The Law of Resistance states that by consistently pushing against internal resistance—be it doubt, fear, or discomfort—you generate the force needed to lift yourself to higher levels of personal achievement and growth. Just as an airplane uses the wind's resistance to rise, engaging with your own internal struggles creates the momentum necessary to propel you forward in life."

Administrative law

The branch of law which deals with the powers and procedures of government agencies. In the United States and many other countries, this includes rulemaking (the manner in which agencies enact regulations), adjudication (the manner in which agencies resolve disputes over agencies' actions), enforcement of regulatory policy, and many issues related to due process.

Administrative law is closely related to constitutional law in that it often deals with what powers the government has and doesn't have, and in what manner government agencies may carry out the power delegated to them by the legislature.

The regulations crafted by rulemaking processes are often extremely complex, and frequently directly refer to specific scientific, technical, and financial standards (such as parts per million/billion of pollution, safety measures for certain activities, and accounting/financial reporting procedures).
Constitutional law teaches you how government is supposed to work, in theory. Administrative law, on the other hand, teaches you how it actually works, in practice.

Simp's Law

Simp's law is an adage that simply states that if you need to ask whether or not you're simping, then you definitely are. Coined by Chaddus Thundercoccoppolus, the Greek philosopher, in the 5th Century BC.
"Simp's law, Bretheren. It's very simple; if you need to ask whether or not something is simping, it is" - Marcus Aurelius
