My blog has a new look. If you’re using Google Reader, you’ll have to come here to see it. Be one of the first to see the short movie I’ve posted on the front page.
Are you a victim of the lizard?
Recently, I added Seth Grodin to my Google Reader feed. He has an amazing ability to churn out useful insights almost every day. Today he writes about the inner resistance that holds people back:
The resistance is the voice in the back of our head telling us to back off, be careful, go slow, compromise. The resistance is writer’s block and putting jitters and every project that ever shipped late because people couldn’t stay on the same page long enough to get something out the door.
The resistance grows in strength as we get closer to shipping, as we get closer to an insight, as we get closer to the truth of what we really want. That’s because the lizard hates change and achievement and risk.
I’ve been wanting to start exercising for months, and I want to write for publication. But the lizard is strong in me.
