Powerful Excerpt From The War of Art

🔥

There's a passage in this book that I want to share because it's UNREAL!

"When we make a start. When we conceive an enterprise and commit to it in the face of our fears, something wonderful happens. A crack appears in the membrane. Like the first craze when a chick pecks at the inside of its shell. Angel midwives congregate around us; they assist as we give birth to ourselves, to that person we were born to be, to the one whose destiny was encoded in our soul, our daimon, our genius. When we make a beginning, we get out of our own way and allow the angels to come in and do their job. They can speak to us now and it makes them happy. It makes God happy. Eternity, as Blake might have told us, has opened a portal into time. And we're it."

This is a clear message around just starting the thing you want to do. No point sitting on the fence and thinking about it everyday and waiting for the perfect moment. Because the perfect moment doesn't exist. You have to start. Now. Messily. Then the Universe/God/Source/whatever you wanna call it will unequivocally have your back. And more importantly, this community will have your back.
