Getting out of my own way

This project is fast initiating me in overcoming internal resistance. While ideas have come flooding since its launch, they are mixed with a plethora of fears, forcing me to reconsider the role of discipline and will in the context of an effortless life.

Generally detachment comes easily to me. I am slowly realising that is probably because I have never fully tapped into deep desire before. In the context of this business, my internal fears are all emerging simultaneously: fear of success, of failure, of inadequacy, of making a mess, of being ridiculous, of being wrong, etc... I am in my own way precisely because I want this project to succeed and I know deep down that the experience will be transformative.

Then how do I approach building a framework for effortless living given such internal resistance? What is the role of discipline in that context? I suspect there is more nuance than the following quote from Chuck Close suggests

Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.

While I agree with the central premise, I dread the irony of birthing this project on effortlessness entirely through will.
