Today’s book: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield—a fierce and focused call to arms for creators and changemakers who are ready to overcome Resistance and do their most important work.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Resistance is the enemy. Fear, procrastination, self-doubt—anything that keeps you from your calling is Resistance.
- Show up like a pro. Amateurs wait for inspiration. Pros sit down and work every day, no matter how they feel.
- Your work is sacred. Creative work isn’t selfish—it’s service. It’s your duty to bring your gifts into the world.
- Fear means go. Resistance grows strongest near your greatest growth. Use fear as a compass.
- Discipline is liberation. Freedom isn’t doing whatever you want—it’s doing what you must.
You were born to create. What important work are you ready to show up for today?
