The real battle isn’t out there. It’s in your mind.

I’m reading a book called The War of Art and I’m reminded that the real enemy to our progress isn’t lack of talent… it’s resistance.

Resistance shows up as hesitation.

As overthinking.

As “I’ll start tomorrow.”

As telling yourself you need one more tutorial, one more plan, one more perfect moment.

But the truth is, resistance doesn’t show up when something doesn’t matter. Resistance shows up when you’re getting close to the thing that could change your life.

So if you feel the pull to procrastinate today…If your mind is trying to talk you out of learning something new…If you're convincing yourself you’re not ready yet…

Good.

That’s the signal.

That means you’re right on the edge of growth.

Instead of trying to defeat resistance in one big heroic moment, do what actually works:

Show up for one small action.

Learn one thing.

Try one messy draft.

Take one uncomfortable step.

You don’t need to win the war today. You just need to win this moment.

Because motion breaks resistance. Momentum quiets the fear. And once you start, everything gets easier.

So ask yourself: What is the one simple thing you can do today...right now...that Resistance doesn’t want you to do?

Do that. Post it below.
