Good ideas alter the power balance in relationships. That is why good ideas are always initially resisted.

When the space shuttle lifts off, it burns 65 percent of its fuel in the first twenty minutes of a two-week flight; that’s because it has to overcome a massive gravitational pull to reach orbit. Like the space shuttle, your ideas have to break through some natural bonds of resistance. Getting started is the hardest part.

People tend to resist that which is forced upon them. People tend to support that which they help to create.
