If you’re feeling massive **Resistance**, the good news is, it means there’s tremendous love there too. If you didn’t love the project that is terrifying you, you wouldn’t feel anything. The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s indifference. >~ [[Pressfield, Steven - The War of Art - Winning the Inner Creative Battle]]   The metaphysical concept of "resistance" as I understand it is a kind of force within us that we strive to contain and keep on a leash. I identify with this concept for a variety of reasons: - Programming: avoid starting every kind of projects that goes through my mind, or I end up with many unfinished projects ​- Relationships: it's **** hard to be vulnerable, so we restrain showing our true feelings by fear of being harmed >Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. ~ [[A History Of Western Philosophy - Russell, Bertrand|Russell - Bertrand]] - Business: stick to where we see a "market" rather than blindly following our intuition that sees a huge problem to solve  # External links
