Any worthwhile project will encounter resistance. Because it tries to change the status-quo. Because if it is worthwhile, it changes its environment significantly.
Here are some contrarian thoughts about this effect:
- your project does not encounter any resistance? Reevaluate if it is worthwhile!
- your project does not go through hard and difficult times? Reevaluate if it is worthwhile!
Now obviously there needs to be a measure of resistance in the process. It must not be so hard as to be impossible to overcome. Still it must be hard enough so that not so many people do overcome it.
Reevaluate your current personal and professional projects. Are they difficult enough? Are they too difficult?
Most importantly, drop those that are too easy. They are probably not worthwhile.
