Resistance by definition is self-sabotage.

When we sit down day after day and keep grinding, something mysterious starts to happen... Unseen forces enlist in our cause; serendipity reinforces our purpose.

When we conquer our fears, we discover a boundless, bottomless, inexhaustible well of passion.

The great thing about writing about the ancient Spartans or Athenians is that so much knowledge is no longer extant that no one, except maybe a Cambridge or Oxford don, can call you out and prove you wrong.

When we see others beginning to live their authentic selves, it drives us crazy if we have not lived out our own.

The artist cannot look to others to validate his efforts or his calling. If you don't believe me, ask Van Gogh, who produced masterpiece after masterpiece and never found a buyer in his whole life.

Don't prepare, do. Don't let Resistance sucker you into wasting months on background, foundation, planning. All that can come later.
