"La chose la plus difficile est de s'asseoir et d'écrire. Ce qui nous empêche de nous asseoir est la Résistance."
— Steven Pressfield
Simplified Meaning:
Starting a task, especially writing, can be very difficult. Often, we feel a force that makes us want to avoid it. This force is like an invisible barrier that makes us find excuses or distractions to stop us from starting. For example, imagine you have an important school project due soon. You might suddenly feel the need to clean your room or watch TV instead of working on the project. This feeling is that invisible barrier at work. To overcome it, you need to recognize it and push yourself to start, even if it feels hard. Once you begin working, you'll often find it's not as difficult as it seemed.
