The Flinch – Why You Must Get Rid Of It
Quoted from THE FLINCH

“Your flinch has become your worst enemy.
It should be a summoning, a challenge to push forward.
Instead, the challenge is getting refused.
Quitting smoking.
Losing weight.
Starting a business.
Getting a date.
For anything you want to do, finding out how is easy.
Do the research and make it happen—or so any book would have you believe.
Yet every day, you smoke, gain weight, and stay at your old job.
Every day, you do the exact opposite of what you plan to do.
Why?
This is the Information Age.
The steps to achieving any goal are easy to search for,
come up with, write down on a napkin, and follow.
But you’re still not doing it.
Part of the movie is missing.
A page is torn out of the book.
There’s a big X in the equation.
Do you know what it is?
The X is the flinch.
The flinch is your real opponent, and information won’t help you fight it.
It’s behind every unhappy marriage, every hidden vice, and every unfulfilled life.
Behind the flinch is pain avoidance, and dealing with pain demands strength you may not think you have.
The flinch is why the lazy actor never gets discovered—because she never really sweats to make it happen.
It’s why the monolithic company gets wiped out by a lean startup—because the big company culture avoids the hard questions.
It’s the reason you make the wrong decision, even though you may know what the right one is.
Behind every act you’re unable to do, fear of the flinch is there, like a puppet master, steering you off course.
Facing the flinch is hard.
It means seeing the lies you tell yourself, facing the fear behind them, and handling the pain that your journey demands—all without hesitation.
The flinch is the moment when every doubt you’ve ever had comes back and hits you, hard. It’s when your whole body feels tense. It’s an instinct that tells you to run. It’s a moment of tension that happens in the body and the brain, and it stops everything cold.” READ THE BOOK TO CONTINUE…
