24 May How To Build Momentum (In Strength And Life)
Author Steven Pressfield writes about the destroyer of all things.
He calls it a nearly unstoppable force that prevents you from achieving what you want.
It is the enemy.

You want to start eating better, but you don’t.
You want to train more consistently, but you aren't.
You want to start that training program, but you haven’t.
