Resistance and Bike Riding
[Pandemic - VII]
Please tell me you’ve engaged the work of Steven Pressfield.
The pandemic is horrific. But it’s not the resistance. For all it’s evil (that it is, that it's uncovered, and that it's caused), the pandemic is not the reason you aren’t chipping away at the thing you are called to do.
Resistance is why.
And Resistance comes in many forms.
Procrastination.
Negative self-talk.
Addiction.
Self-sabotage.
Mindless scrolling.
But it's not the pandemic.
Blaming the pandemic is like blaming the bike for your crash. It takes courage to learn about gravity, and get back on the seat and peddle again tomorrow.
