This is the one hundred and sixtieth Foolsletter.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.

Part 2 of Laughter and resilience is coming.

On that one?

I’m a bit stuck.

I’m stuck attempting to balance humour and facts, playfulness and impact.

The work needs story telling.

The work needs to be concise.

The work needs to be engaging.

And?

It needs more time to get there.

So, I’m stuck there.

Over the past six months, I’ve been stuck a lot.

Regularly.

Consistently.

Almost daily.

When I first started with the foolsletter, I regularly felt overwhelming shame.

What have I done?

What will happen when it goes out?

That’s the voice of what Steven Pressfield calls “The Resistance”.

Stuck?

That’s just part of the journey.

The process of reaching out to you every day is one of facing fear, apathy and, one of getting stuck regularly.

The best part about this?

Getting unstuck regularly.
