Do The Work! 63
The only intercourse possible
between the knight and the
dragon is battle.
The contest is life-and-death, mano a mano. It asks no quarter
and gives none.
This is the fifth principle of Resistance.
Principle Number Six: Resistance Arises Second
The sixth principle of Resistance (and the key to overcoming it)
is that Resistance arises second.
What comes first is the idea, the
passion, the dream of the work
we are so excited to create that it
scares the hell out of us.
Resistance is the response of the frightened, petty, small-time
ego to the brave, generous, magnificent impulse of the creative
self.
Resistance is the shadow cast by
the innovative self ’s sun.
