This isn’t a lesson we usually like to hear, certainly not from our parents or friends, but it seems rational to listen to highly successful author Julia Cameron, who’s built her career on confronting her resistance and putting it in it’s place. Her book, The Artists Way, a roadmap of creative and spiritual lessons, has helped millions of people overcome their resistance to doing the work they need to do to fulfill their hidden potential. Julia tells it to us straight in fear.less:
“Work is a wonderful anecdote for fear. We have a duty to create, and when we finally do, a lot of emotional difficulties get laid to the side. I used to think praying would get rid of the fear and then I could take action. What I do now is pray, stay with the fear and take action despite the fear. I sit down at the computer and listen. Then I type what I hear.”
Now, get to work!
