Engaging piece. I was browsing for something like yet there are still some characters who would contradict it, or hate as individuals call it at the moment. haha

Steven,
Been gone for a bit fighting the good fight for the family. What a great series of posts and what a great discussion! I’m sorry I missed it!

For the record, it was War of Art that woke me up, that wiped away the cloudy veil. From there, the fight got harder but, in a lot of ways, a heck of a lot more fun!

On resistance – how can you tell if the resistance you face should be fought or is a telling sign that you are not doing what is right for you?

I think it all depends on the person you’re talking to.

If the person is clearly losing the battle with their resistance, then they’ll be more likely to resent you for wanting more from your life. Those types will drag you down, so your ambitions aren’t worth discussing with them anyway. Good people will love to hear about your goals and help you get there. I’m assuming most of us reading this blog fall under that category.

Mr. Pressfield -

Thank you so much for nailing what I’ve been struggling with for so many years. For a long time I thought that being “ambitious” was a negative thing. It’s not. I just looked up the definition: “A strong desire to do or achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.” There’s absolutely nothing negative about any of that. There’s no mention in there about ‘ego’ or rewards or riches or fame, which is what I used to think the ‘results’ of ambition were.

Anyway, many thanks for this post.

“True joy in life [is] being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one: being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap, and being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”

We either respond to this call to work to a better life or we die! You must know that Marianne Williamson quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”

Thanks for a powerful and courageous post.
