Reflect: Facing the Resistance

Even when you get good at something, the struggle doesn't go away.

The resistance doesn't disappear.

You just get better at facing it.

You learn that you don't always need motivation or inspiration.

What you need is to get started.

Some days it's there.

Other days it's not.

But you've got to give yourself a chance.

This is true for writing, running, lifting, music, math, pottery—you name it.

There is no easy or seamless path.

There is only getting better at doing what's hard, and even coming to enjoy it.
