Mastering Anything Requires a Resistance Practice
In the book Mastery by Robert Greene he shares that by nature, we humans shrink from anything that seems possibly painful or overly difficult.

Instead of purpose, think: life’s task
Got the idea of ‘Life’s Task’ from Robert Greene’s book Mastery. Purpose has always been difficult to understand and define, especially when it’s always paired with the verb ‘to find’.
