This took me like 2.5 reads but when I got it, it really hit me. Extrapolating and thinking that the idea that I have so much internal friction might be because I create an environment that is conducive to it was very thought provoking.

Another example of the concept is like the difference between the well-received essay you worked six months on perfecting versus the other two that came out in fits of inspiration.

Excellent article as usual Tai. Love the "won't-power" framing. I would love hear any stories you have on personal experiences with using, or being used, by friction to produce a transformational result.

Thanks, as always, Rick. Many of my experiences training meditation, martial arts, music and writing, of course, were rife with friction en route to

glimpsing frictionless possibilities. Duly noted for future writing.

Yes, I sense there is a treasure trove of story worthy experiences back there in your vault.
