I am guilty for narcissistically attaching the work I do with who I am. When things go well, my ego drives the motivation. When things doesn’t, I procrastinate and tries to hide it. I am not consistent.
The War of Art redefined being professional and Resistance became the proxy.
- It’s not a rejection. It’s Resistance reminding me to save face.
- It’s not rejecting the person or idea. It’s Resistance saying my time is not valuable.
- It’s not above my responsibility. It’s Resistance saying asking help is showing weakness.
- It’s not a difficult project. It’s Resistance saying I am too smart to ask for help.
- It’s not that there’s too much work to do so I need to sacrifice the time to write. It’s Resistance saying work is who I am, it’s my identity.
Resistance is always in the middle between the person or task and my work. It always twist the message to stop me getting things done.
