Invisible adversaries

In Bravery, I mentioned I had a few fears.

These fears are real to me. They don’t feel like the bogeyman that Seth Godin mentions in the Practice. If they are, perhaps I haven’t summoned enough courage to look them in the eye, enough to a point that they disappear, yet.

What I know is these fears arose from a previous psyche injury. They’re present in that injured part, but not in the others.

What I have to do is:

  1. Acknowledge and accept that they exist.
  2. Resolve these traumas. (Programs like TCC can help).
  3. Put them aside and continue to move towards the future that I want to create.

Invisible adversaries aren’t invisible at all. They’re just pretty well hidden. They will show up and let me resolve them as I continue to do my work.

Chop wood, carry water.

Join My Newsletter

I share what I’m learning on this newsletter: code, building businesses, and living well.

Sometimes I write about technical deep-dives, product updates, musings on how to live, and sometimes my struggles and how I’m breaking through.

Regardless of the type of content, I do my best to send you an update every week.

If you’re into making things and growing as a person, you’ll probably feel at home here.

I’ve taken his courses and always look forward to his writing because I know I’ll walk away with something that makes me a better front-ender.
