Holly Richardson: Fighting through ‘The Resistance’ will make you strong

Sun Tzu wrote “The Art of War” more than 2,500 years ago. It contains such well-known gems as “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting” and “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”

Steven Pressfield wrote a book over 15 years ago titled “The War of Art.” Clever title for a book about “The Resistance” — something we face whenever we try to do something significant.

Pressfield describes The Resistance as that “invisible, destructive force that opposes” you any time you try to accomplish something that matters, or try make an improvement in any area of your life.
