Beautiful essay Anthony! So many great insights--this one really stood out to me:
“What I've found to be most enlightening is that the act of identifying and understanding the backspace, but not forcefully trying to defeat it, is what has been most effective.”
It really does seem to be true that seeing and understanding our resistances in life, rather than fighting them head-on (and therefore joining them in their energy), is the best way to move forward.
1. I love the leveraging of writing, and I see myself in the example you share, it is great to have the language for using writing as a tool in this way
2. You’ve enabled me to see doubt as a bit of a Beast to be tamed - it’s there to help, curate even, however it can’t and shouldn’t be in the driver seat!
Love this, Anthony. Bravo to you! L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace!
