I can show you that doing something is better than doing nothing. When you do nothing, out of worry of being attacked, you get no attacks on you, but you also have gone nowhere. It is like putting nothing in a pot and cooking it. An hour later, you have a heated nothing- Words Of Wisdom – Chosen Lyrics, Armen ShirvanianFear and Resistance
Between you and your goal is resistance. One should aim their life against the path with resistance, that is where one will find the greatest personal rewards. Overcome your fear; overcome your resistance.
Clarity
Clarity of purpose will help fight the resistance created by fear. If you have a clear picture of your life, you can steer your destiny. In your mind; create a clear picture of each action necessary to fulfill your vision; put your life in motion.
The Motivation
If I were to know that tomorrow I die, would I be at peace or a raving lunatic? How much more time do I need? What am I waiting for? How do I know tomorrow isn't the perfect time to die?
Life is a road with many peaks and valleys. Hopefully your not in a valley. But if you do find yourself at a low point in your life, remember this is where you learn about your spirit. The hard times are a test of your character and your ability to see past this moment of pain, and to envision a better future. This low point is the time to call on your courage and forge the will to create a better future.

Hi Martin.
I think this is quite cool, for one, because I have not previously seen a quote of mine used as an introduction, and two, because it reminds me to write some of the things I think without filtering them somehow.
On that portion you wrote there about resistance, I read something great yesterday in the book "Ignore Everybody" that mentioned that the resistance we feel from those close to us is because of the fact that we are altering the power dynamics when we implement a good idea. This is something worth noting.
Also, on that last part where you talk about how we would act if we had limited time, that is a question worth remembering every few hours. We have to keep reality in our thoughts.
Thanks Armen for your feedback. It was great to read what you think. I don't get many comments.
This post was inspired by the sentence I quoted from your blog, because it really made me think. It was a great post.
Thanks for your input on resistance. I think you make a valid point. Good new ideas do shift the power dynamics, and I am guessing that is why change takes time. Look at formal education, I don't think the average school has kept up with the changing times. Especially the further up you go. Not that I have the solutions, but I think school need to be different from each other and not all try to teach one curriculum.
I will try to get my hands on a copy of "Ignore Everybody", sounds like an interesting read.
Thanks again.
