The resistance likes to do some crafty things. When it infiltrates your mind, it accuses you of wrongdoing when you set and uphold personal priorities. To the resistance, the thought of you making real efforts to bring your greatest gift to the world is frightening. But to you, the thought of doing exactly that can and should birth excitement.
When you hear the voice that holds you back, laugh and move forward. Remind yourself that action that seeks to bring good to the world around you is worth pursuing. On the flipside, the inaction that the resistance likes to praise is a waste of potential. While it may shelter you from vulnerability, it merely withholds you from living out your creative intention.

A few reads on the resistance: Stephen Pressfield (the man who coined the term) and Seth Godin (a man who should need no parenthetical reference).
