The War of Art...

SO, I am reading this book called "The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles" by Steven Pressfield. Amazing!!!. Is all I have to say....

It is definitely a book that when you read it - while you're reading it you are thinking I have to read this book again right after I finish it. Ironically I have the same thoughts when I masturbate or while having sex - but then I get tired or fall asleep and then who knows when the next time is ....... uh ... yeah....but I digress.....

The point of the book is to fight your inner struggles as a person trying to produce life. The life you were made to live. I am not talking about luxury or fantasy- music video -poppin' bottles life (although i don't mind and think I will live that life). But the life made to achieve purpose. Whether it is as great as finding a cure for AIDS or just loving the children of your neighborhood to the utmost. There is reason in our breathe. And because of that reason is why we face opposition at every turn - this opposition is what Pressfield calls 'Resistance'. Now for those of you who know scripture or believe in God we know it is part of the dark force in which Pressfield actually calls this out.

This book is so amazing and so complex that it is way more than a creative inspirational temporary satisfaction or gratificational* book, that you read, get hyped, put it down and forget about it. It is a book that brings on strong conviction for the people who are really ready to Win and up for the fight. Real warriors, who don't mind going through pain and misery to see the possibilities of true freedom from the apathetic life or The Matrix, as I refer to it. Don't get me wrong sometimes I think taking the blue pill ain't so bad - no fighting, being numb, just busy living to die - ahh the good life. But nope, nope some of us take the red pill and are not satisfied with a "good life" we want and seek for more - the best!!! The nerve!! So with that we choose to die trying to live!!! DAMN, DAMN, DDDAAAMMMNNN!!

God wills us breathe today. And each we are given the gift of breathe we sit and choose the red or the blue pill...

Well my friends if you have the time and the courage to push forward I would encourage you to pick up this book at your local bookstore. And I am sure within the 1st few pages it will move you to do something, possibly something great, but definitely something.

It moved me to start a BLOG for goodness sake!! I talk to myself all the time (in my head, not out loud) and think that what I am thinking is half crazy & half brilliant/ prophetic. But this? I stopped thinking and took the time to make it public, not personal. I stopped being scared of the potential judgment of how others would view my thoughts and now have gone public. AHH!!!

It is an odd feeling. I can imagine the closest thing to this type of exposure would be going topless on a Brazilian beach! It's very hot and feels great but the reality is your are partially nude and available for others to see! Yipes!! I hope this is a good "Titalizing" sensation.... (pun intended). I mean I always was a bit perky.... ;-)

* gratificational is not a word (yet) but utilizing true ebonics flare I have made it work within this piece - WHAT!?!
