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."

Get the self-in-lawmug. Coined by Gibbs himself, it is short for 'Gibb's First law of relational-dynamics'
It states that:
No relationship between two persons can ever remain purely platonic, it will either end with one member (usually the male) feeling friendzoned and thus ending the relationship after they lose all hope, or with the relationship becoming romantic, in which case Gibb's Second Law must apply as Gibbs is always right.

Person 1: "Whoa, Sarah and Matt are such good friends!"
Person 2: "Trust me, they're gonna be more than friends soon enough"
Person 1: "Oh yeahhhh, Gibb's First Law, lucky Matt!"
Person 2: "Trust me, they're gonna be more than friends soon enough"

Get the Gibb's First Lawmug. "No matter how many times that you and a smoker change places/locations while spending time together outdoors, the breeze is always gonna switch around and waft the tobacco-fumes directly past your face."
I absolutely totally love my new middle-aged lady-friend, but we both go absolutely crazy trying to avoid bothering me with the smoke whenever she needs a cigarette while we're going for a rowboat-ride or woods-trail hike --- sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke"!
