Good book, wasn't anything new for me, it was kinda of a compilation of things I already saw in other books and online, but a good compilation anyway. It would have loved it if it was my first time seeing these concepts, but it worked well as a reminder too. Resistance has no strength of its own. Every ounce of juice it possesses comes from us. We feed it by our very fear of it." Haruki Murakami talked in much similar terms about writing in his book about running. He wrote a book about running and the discipline of running; but he was also talking about the virtues necessary to be a writer. Fear once served as a mechanism that protected us. Nowadays, suspicion has become our enemy, ripping us with our freedom. Every type of fear we experience daily is based on one thought: “I cannot handle it.”Anyway, Part Two is called “Combating Resistance: Turning Pro” and leads with a Telamon of Arcadia quote: “It is one thing to study war and another to live the warrior’s life.” Here's where Pressfield delineates the true pros who tolerate no excuses from “amateurs” who live by them. In this chapter, the author says to learn from every situation in life. Everyone makes mistakes, so learn from them rather than blame yourself or, worse, others. The keys to life are learning, progress, and growth. Build confidence with competence, you’ll become more confident if you constantly become better at what you do. Strive for constant improvement and acquire tools to fight fear. Promise to spread joy in your surroundings because where there is joy there is the absence of fear. I thought this book was going to provide practical advice on how to achieve a higher state of discipline.
