Day 46 - Book 2 Con't - The War of Art

Pressfield ends this chapter with his reminder to the reader to be aware of these patterns of resistance, as they are invisible, insidious, and forever lurking, preventing one from seeking their work.  Bringing these into consciousness, one has a better chance to work through these when they are aware resistance is present.  One suggestion he offers is a shift of thinking from amateur to professional.  If your work is a hobby, resistance will ensure one will get around to it.  Yet if one is looking for their work to be more than a hobby, it requires this shift of thinking to being a professional.  Setting a structure and following no matter what shows up.  


I encourage you to buy a copy of The War of Art for a better understanding of your own creative process.  Whether you're a master artist or beginning artist, this is an excellent book.
