I contemplated, daydreamed, brainstormed, and checked Instagram…

Everything but actually write this.

Resistance.

That negative internal force that gets in the way of you pursuing your dreams.

You know exactly what project you dream of starting, the one you feel is your life’s calling—but the mix of procrastination, self-doubt, and anxiety get in the way.

So no pages of the dream book are written, no photographs of the renowned travel photographer are taken, and no episodes of the great podcast are released.

How can starting to write the book that you dreamed of be a 10-step walk to your desk, a terrible rough draft that takes 5 minutes to write, but yet there is something internal stopping you from starting it? 

Yeah, that’s resistance.

Award-winning author Steven Pressfield wrote a great book on what it is, how to recognize it, and how to beat it.

And this post is just that: me overcoming resistance, doing the work that it feels like I’m meant to do (starting a blog), and in the process hopefully inspiring others to do the same.

Shout out to Ant for inspiring me to get this ball rolling from the last convo that we had.
