(More on) Resistance

More words of wisdom from Steven Pressfield (The War of Art):

(Capital R) Resistance isn't some force that works outside ourselves. It comes from within. 

It doesn't have any strength on its own; we feed it. 

We feed it by not doing the work we're called to do because we're afraid of it. 

We feed it by putting off the work we're called to do.

It's okay. I'm going to do it. . . . I'm just going to do it tomorrow.



The truth? 

There is never the perfect moment to start something new or do something different. 

It's better to dive in, take it day by day--trust that this is what's best for us--that it will all (somehow) work out in the end.

***

Push against Resistance with every new sunrise. 

Be ruthless in the pursuit of your goals.

And serve as an example while doing it, lighting the way for others.

Be Brilliant!
