Why it matters: A great kick starter for stop messing around and get to work. It takes the idea of personal Resistance, and embodies it in a foe that needs to be fought every day. Sit down. Do the work. Inspiration isn’t a thing that can be manufactured. It comes by doing the work. Brief and to the point.
#Things to consider
- Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard, or smelled. But it can be felt. We experience it as an energy field radiating from a work-in-potential. It’s a repelling force. It’s negative. Its aim is to shove us away, distract us, prevent us from doing our work.
- The highest treason a crab can commit is to make a leap for the rim of the bucket.
- The best and only thing that one artist can do for another is to serve as an example and an inspiration.
- We’re wrong if we think we’re the only ones struggling with Resistance. Everyone who has a body experiences Resistance.
- The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.
