I believe that I am not even half as creative as I was during college and I'm resistant to trying new ideas for some reason. I'm not sure what the reason is: resistance as you say it, or the fear of it not achieving the potential that I dream of or simply laziness. But I've started a mission to fight it off and be how I wanted myself to be! You’ve put, what I’ve been feeling for a long time, in words perfectly.

Resistance, as you describe, is an inherent trait in humans. We find it easy to get tangled in the brambles and weeds of our very human world. Every one of us, no matter how we appear on the outside, battles internally with resistance against the will to move forward. But a taste of productivity and achievement, if nurtured, begets more of the same. Eventually, you'll find your life in motion, and once it gets going, the tendency is to remain that way. You are doing very well. Here's something that keeps me going: a mentor and friend of mine says to keep pushing forward when you feel most like giving up and you'll be able to hear that sweet inner voice saying to you, "welcome to the next level." Mine comes with trumpets and four-part harmony ;) Awesome, Ben! Resistance, as you describe, is an inherent trait in humans.
