The temptations and reactions that can cause non-creativity, imbalance and distraction are many. Lets start with the prejudice everyone has against imposed challenges. Its a concept that people associate with an accusation, a kind of guilty until proven innocent. Or, youre not good enough until you prove it, with the implication behind this that you will probably fail or are unworthy. If you settle for this association at the expense of perceiving the actuality and necessity of challenge, or Creative Resistance, in hundreds or thousands of situations in every day of your life, and in anything worthy of your attention, you bought into the illusion sold basically to keep you small, in control, like those and safe for those who sell it.
