“To Be or Not to Be…”

The poster boy for freezing before we begin is Hamlet, the Melancholy Dane.

If you remember Hamlet’s problem, it was that he knew what he had to do—avenge the murder of his father, the king—but he kept rationalizing and making excuses for why he couldn’t make the fatal move. 

Not quite yet, anyway.

No matter how many provocations to action confronted Hamlet, the prince always found a reason to stall and “think” and “reconsider.” It wasn’t that he didn’t understand this failure. Remember his “To be or not to be” soliloquy? “ 

Thus the native hue of resolution 
is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought
And enterprises of great pith and moment
with this regard their currents turn awry
and lose the name of action.

Resistance strikes us first BEFORE we begin.

    As Churchill used to say, “Action this day.” And Napoleon, Grant, Patton…….[Trump?]

    And in the middle and near the finish line.
    Comfortable with failure, knowing it as a means to learn and grow, I ask this question in search of a sincere answer, “Why do we fear success?”

    How do you resist the resistance? Accept it and go through it. Breathe into it. Any thoughts?
