The War of Art by Steven Pressfield #2007

Today’s wisdom comes from The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.

Steven teaches us: “Resistance will always rise against your best work.”

Whether it’s fear, procrastination, or self-doubt, capital ‘R’ Resistance, is the enemy of creativity. But you can overcome it by showing up and doing the work.

Here’s how to beat Resistance today:

First, start small. Pressfield says: “The amateur believes they must first overcome fear. The professional knows fear never goes away.”

Next, show up daily. He reminds us: “The professional commits for the long haul.”

Finally, detach from outcomes. Pressfield writes: “Success is a by-product of work. Focus on the process.”

What’s one step you can take today to beat Resistance and do the work?
