Resistance is the shadow; its opposite—Assistance—is the sun (Steven Pressfield)

In his book, Do the Work, Steven Pressfield, on discussing resistance to starting, completing and shipping our creative products, writes: Resistance is the shadow; its opposite—Assistance—is the sun.

In his book, The Icarus Deception, Seth Godin writes:

“Art is a process…and it’s a process that never ends.”

“The search for the right answer is the enemy of art.”

“We have been brainwashed by school, indoctrinated by industrial propaganda, and mesmerized by the popular media into believing that compliance is not only safe but right and necessary.”

“Courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.”

“The emotional labor that needs to be done offers no shortcuts”
