Do The Work! 65
In Greek, the word is eros. Life force. Dynamis, creative
drive.
That mischievous tree-climbing
scamp is our friend.
She’s us, she’s our higher nature, our Self. In the face of Resistance,
we have to remember her and hang onto her and draw strength
from her.
The opposite of fear is love—love
of the challenge, love of the work,
the pure joyous passion to take a
shot at our dream and see if we can
pull it off.
Principle Number Seven:
The Opposite of Resistance Is Assistance
In myths and legends, the knight is always aided in his quest
to slay the dragon. Providence brings forth a champion whose
role is to assist the hero. Theseus had Ariadne when he fought
the Minotaur. Jason had Medea when he went after the Golden
Fleece. Odysseus had the goddess Athena to guide him home.
