Every virtue that reaches the exaggeration, is becoming a defect - Steven Pressfield

The critic hates most that which he would have done himself if he had had the guts.

The pro keeps coming on. He beats Resistance at its own game by being even more resolute and even more implacable than it is.

I once worked as a writer for a big New York ad agency. Our boss used to tell us: Invent a disease. Come up with the disease, he said, and we can sell the cure. Attention Deficit Disorder, Seasonal Affect Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder. These aren't diseases, they're marketing ploys. Doctors didn't discover them, copywriters did. Marketing departments did. Drug companies did. Depression and anxiety may be real. But they can also be Resistance.
