Hi friends,<\/p>\n
Today I am going to tell you about your biggest enemy\u00a0which\u00a0probably you do not even care about. Everyone suffers from it. Again I will mention that the great\u00a0Soft Skills<\/a> book by John Sonmez told me about\u00a0this hidden foe.\u00a0John writes\u00a0he was inspired by another remarkable\u00a0book The War of Art<\/a> by\u00a0Stephen Pressfield. So, I read it and the enemy is…<\/p>\n Resistance appears if you need to do\u00a0any act that rejects immediate gratification in\u00a0favor of long-term growth, health, or integrity. For example,\u00a0any calling in writing, painting, music,\u00a0film, dance, or any creative art; any diet or regimen;\u00a0education of every kind; and of course programming. Stephen claims that whenever we try\u00a0to elevate ourselves to a higher plane of existence, resistance rears its\u00a0ugly head and tries to keep us where we are.<\/p>\n The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.\u00a0We can use it as a compass. We can navigate by Resistance, letting it guide us to that calling or action that we must follow before all others.<\/p>\n We have to learn how to beat this resistance if we\u2019re ever going to succeed\u00a0at whatever endeavor we\u2019re pursuing. But how do we beat this\u00a0foe? How do we hold resistance\u2019s face to the mat and make him tap\u00a0out? We simply sit at our desks and do what we\u2019re supposed to do. We\u00a0all have to learn how to push through and just do the work. There\u2019s no\u00a0easy answer.<\/p>\n In other words you should turn\u00a0a Pro. What is the difference between\u00a0the professional in contrast to the amateur?<\/p>\n The amateur plays for fun. The professional plays for keeps. To the amateur, the game is his avocation. To the pro it’s his vocation. The amateur plays part-time, the professional full-time. The amateur is a weekend warrior. The professional is there seven days a week.<\/p>\n There’s no mystery to turning pro. It’s a decision brought about by an act of will. We make up our mind to view ourselves as pros and we do it. Simple as that.<\/p>\n Turning pro is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear,\u00a0self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc., the problem\u00a0is, we\u2019re thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don’t show up.\u00a0Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them.\u00a0The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work,\u00a0he keeps on truckin\u2019, no matter what.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Try to be the pro, not the amateur.<\/p>\n Bye!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi friends, Today I am going to tell you about your biggest enemy\u00a0which\u00a0probably you do not even care about.
