Imagine that you are
holding two strong magnets, one in each hand.
The positive ends are facing each other.
Now, imagine the resistance you feel when you try to touch the positive
ends to each other. As you bring them
closer, the force of the like poles pushes them apart. With persistence and great effort you may
succeed in holding them together but it takes constant vigilance to keep them that way.
That is what
it's like when I'm trying to start a task.
It's not that I lack the skills to accomplish the task, it's that my
mind is repelled from the starting point as if an invisible force is pushing it
away. The starting steps are almost
within my grasp, just beyond my fingertips but the closer I get, the stronger
the resistance is.
My goal is to reverse the polarity of one of those magnets so I can spend all my energy completing the tasks instead of exhausting myself trying to push the magnets together.
