Do the work

What comes first is the idea, the passion,
the dream of the work we are so excited to create
that it scares the hell out of us.

Resistance is the response of the frightened,
petty, small time ego to the brave, generous,
magnificent impulse of the creative self.

Resistance is the shadow cast
by the innovative self’s sun.

The only intercourse possible
between the Knight and the Dragon is battle.

The contest is life and death –mano a mano.

Steven Pressfield was a huge source of inspiration and enlightenment to the path that I am now on. This piece is derived from his book Do the Work, and is a taste of a project of mine for 2026.

Dream intentionally - while you’re awake.
