"Workshops" and "support"

Two concepts that earn scorn from writer Steven Pressfield are "workshops" and "support." He asks, "What better way of avoiding work than going to a workshop?" "They ought to give out PhDs in resistance!"

He adds that getting "support" from friends and family is "nice, but when the ship sails all they can do is stand on the dock waiving goodbye!" "The more energy we expend seeking support from friends and loved ones, the weaker we become, and the less capable we become at handling our business!"

from The War of Art

It's sad but true but in the end it really is you vs the world. The only ace you have is Christ who says I have overcome the world. I trust in that.
