Two Lives

Most of us have two lives. The life we live and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance. (…) What we hate is our own failure to step up to that unlived level.” Steven Pressfield

I love Steven Pressfield’s work. He is known for always diving into (and beating) the concept of “resistance.” He invites us to examine the two lives in front of us— the lived and unlived.

How are we spending our time? Do we inch closer to our dreams? Do we try and dare? Are we consumed with our failure instead of having it fuel us into a new reality?

The best kind of life is the one where the one that was unlived, but desired, becomes the lived one.
