From a nice little blog on The War of Art, a meditation on resistance, 'the culprit that binds our creative pursuits':

We're residential painting contractors, hardly cosseted scribes and yet...we do spend considerable time telling you that our men and women are artists and traffic in dreams and ideas as easily as they do punchlists.  And so it might be fairly instructive for us all to consider where and when creativity emerges on your painting project, and where and when our house painters encounter any sort of Resistance-With-a-Capital-R?  

Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking a look at these questions--quite a bit more relevant to the nuts and bolts of what we do than it may seem at first brush.
