## What Jamie wrote

Short piece from Pressfield that is worth reflecting on.

> When you and I know … when we feel in our bones the unrealized self we are or could become and know that we’re not living it out … the result is pain. The result is shame and mortification and self-reproach.

He ties this back to Resistance. His book [The War of Art](https://stevenpressfield.com/books/the-war-of-art/) is a deep dive into the Resistance and a wonderful read.
