GO AFTER IT - Powerful Motivational Spee...

EDDIE PINERO
About this episode

“If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.” ― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle

In this episode, we dive into the battle between immediate desires and long-term needs. Are we willing to endure the now for a beautiful forever? We discuss delayed gratification and the concept of resistance, as described by Steven Pressfield in The War of Art. Learn how to control resistance, laugh in its face, and show up despite the inner voices telling you not to. The hardest part is beginning—so sit down, start, and conquer your resistance.
