Most of us know the feeling.
You talk about the thing.
You ask questions about the thing.
You research the thing.
And somehow you are still not doing the thing.
In The War of Art, Steven Pressfield calls this resistance.
It hides in preparation, debate, and endless thinking.
“The shortest answer is doing the thing.”
Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes the real breakthrough is simply starting.
What is one thing you have been meaning to do that is waiting on the other side of action?
