La trilogie de Pressfield

© Stuart Mc Millen

C’est la suite logique de The War of Art du même auteur. Ce petit livre décrit le moment où l’on décide de vaincre ce que Pressfield nomme la Resistance, et qui nous empêche de faire ce que l’on doit faire. Devenir pro, c’est une lutte de tous les jours, une révélation qu’on a et qui va nous permettre de finir ce qu’on commence (comme un livre, par exemple, mais cela peut s’appliquer à tous les domaines de la création.)

Le concept est simple, mais je le trouve brillant. Il m’a aidé dans mon écriture.

Mes notes :

If you’re dissatisfied with your current life, ask yourself what your current life is a metaphor for. That metaphor will point you toward your true calling.

In the shadow life, we live in denial and we act by addiction.

There is no tribe. That gang or posse that we imagine is sustaining us by the bonds we share is in fact a conglomeration of individuals who are just as fucked up as we are and just as terrified. Each individual is so caught up in his own bullshit that he doesn’t have two seconds to worry about yours or mine, or to reject or diminish us because of it. When we truly understand that the tribe doesn’t give a damn, we’re free. There is no tribe, and there never was. Our lives are entirely up to us.
