resistance and fear
Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do.

The professional tackles the project that will make him stretch. He takes on the assignment that will bear him into uncharted waters, compel him to explore unconscious parts of himself
resistance and love
resistance is directly proportional to love. If you'refeeling massive Resistance, the good news is, it means there's tremendous love there too

the more energy we spend stoking up on support from colleagues and loved ones, the weaker we become and the less capable of handling our business.
When your deeper Self delivers a dream like that, don't talk about it. Don't dilute its power. The dream is for you. It's between you and your Muse. Shut up and use it
Resistance doesn't want us to do this. So it brings in Rationalization. Rationalization is Resistance's spin doctor. It's Resistance's way of hiding the Big Stick behind its back.

Defeating Resistance is like giving birth. It seems absolutely impossible until you remember that women have been pulling it off successfully, with support and without, for fifty million years.
combating resistance
go through the chores, the correspondence, the obligations of daily life. Again I'm there but not really. The clock is running in my head
Marines love to be miserable. Marines derive a perverse satisfaction in having colder chow, crappier equipment, and higher casualty rates than any outfit of dogfaces, swab jockeys, or flyboys, all of whom they despise. Why? Because these candy-asses don't know how to be miserable
We show up every day. We might do it only because we have to, to keep from getting fired. But we do it. We show up every day
