“The hardest thing is to sit down and write. What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance.”
— Steven Pressfield

Simplified Meaning:
Getting started on a project, especially writing, is often the most challenging part. There's a force, called Resistance, that makes us avoid beginning the work we need to do. This Resistance can come from many things like distractions, fear of failure, or just feeling lazy. Imagine a student who has a big essay due. Sitting down to write it feels so tough that they find other things to do, like playing games or watching TV. Overcoming this Resistance means pushing past those feelings and just starting, even if it's one small step at a time. Once you begin, it often gets easier, and you find that the task wasn't as hard as you thought.
