YOU ARE RESISTING: HUMAN BEINGS ENABLE RESISTANCE
You are the only thing standing between resistance and resisting. This probably makes zero sense to you, but keep reading. Months ago, I read a book called War Of Art by Steven Pressfield (a man I wanted to Google to find out more about, but keep forgetting). Anyway, I
think every person needs to read and digest this book.
I am just gonna give an overview of what i understood from it. It's not easy to do anything, and I am certain that at some point in our lives we've all thought of laying in bed and doing nothing forever and ever. I know I have. The issue is there's always that thing I need to do gnawing at my conscience, that wouldn't go away until I get up and do it.
Now, Steven Pressfield says that totally ignoring that voice is resisting or resistance. Resistance now manifest
in different forms. Are you the type that resists getting the job done by making excuses, doubting yourself, procrastinating, or allowing that imposter syndrome talk you out of things?
Trust me, I have been there. As a matter of fact, i fight resistance every day. I started my first screenplay, which I thought was impossible. Why two months ago when I have wanted to write one all my life? Two reasons, timing and resistance. I still don't know if I am writing it correctly or how its going to play out, but I have started it- that's how I overcame my resistance.
You have eliminated your resistance by starting and by keeping up with a certain plan on how to make progress. Resistance becomes ineffective against you.
