I am taking a break from the 'normal' daily thought to recommend a book called 'The War of Art' by Steven Pressfield.
If you have ever had dreams of:
- Writing a book
- Cultivating your 'inner artist'
- Starting a company
- Living a purposeful life, or
- Sharing your gifts with the world
Then this is the book for you!
I have read many, many books on self-development, psychology; etc, but very few are as direct and inspirational as this work. The writing is funny, 'real', very easy to read, and organized into short 2-page chapters. I have chosen to read 1-2 chapters each morning, and find myself energized for the rest of the day!
Essentially, the book addresses and names 'the enemy'...which is Resistance. Resistance, the 'NO' in us that comes from Fear, is the part of us that keeps us small. When we allow the Fear, and act in the face of Resistance, we 'turn Pro' in our lives. We elevate to a place of achievement and self-realization. Our lives become purposeful because we are sharing our gifts with the world.
You have a gift to share with the world! See it, allow it, and ACT in the face of your own Resistance!
As a starting point, get this book!
