In the course of action, we often face obstacles that stumble us. Creative people want to take on ambitious projects which may be tough. Tough nature of the prejects should not stop us even if it may slow us down signifcantly. Knowing the resistance and not fearing about it is first step. Taking steps beyond the resistance is even better to help us reach our potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE WAR OF ART by Steven Pressfield | Core Message\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xpzpJDRxTuY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video summary of Book: The War Of Art, by <em>Steven Pressfield<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to my friend for sharing information about this book.
