In art, so in life: resistance prompts us to think.*
Richard Sennett

Inauthentic means effective, reasoned, intentional. It means it’s not personal, it’s generous.**
Seth Godin

Perhaps the resistance you meet
will aid you towards a better response or
answer –
Different, inauthentic –
that ease would not have
uncovered.

Here are five major resistances to
contemplate:
Life is hard,
You are not as special as you think,
Your life is not about you,
You are not in control,
You are going to die.^
