Great article Sinem!
I have a bit of a different take on the quote from Steven Pressfield based on my experience. I view it as people have 3 lives. The one they have already lived, (the past) the one they are living now, (the present) and the one they are capable of living. (not necessarily the future as that can only be determined by their action)
Most people, again in my opinion, live their lives based on the past and because they do, unless they cheange, it repeats itself. Those living in the present have a pretty good shot at changing if they will allow it. And lastly, those who are willing to get comfortable with being uncomfortable can change if they decide to take daily action and honestly look at the resistance they might have in living life differently.
Love your work, keep it up! You inspire me!
