Resistance really takes the shape, for me, in voices in my head telling me why I can't do something or why I should put it off for another day, procrastinate for another day.

Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work.

The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.

When we turn pro we stop running from our fears. We turn around and face them.

Our enemy is not lack of preparation; it’s not the difficulty of the project or the state of the marketplace or the emptiness of our bank account. The enemy is our chattering brain, which, if we give it so much as a nanosecond, will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self-justifications and a million reasons why we can’t/shouldn’t/won’t do what we know we need to do.

Fear doesn't go away. The battle must be fought anew every day.

I am going to write my symphony; I'm just going to start tomorrow.
