# Play hurt
Don’t always wait for or look for healing. Sometimes, you just have to get out there and do stuff.

It's easy to say when there's no pain, though.
## Quotes 💬
I came across this idea in a book by Steven Pressfield:
>The concept in all these [[environment|environments]] seems to be that one needs to complete his healing before he is ready to do his [[work]]. This way of [[thinking]] (are you ahead of me?) is a form of Resistance. What are we trying to heal, anyway? The athlete knows the day will never come when he wakes up [[pain]]-free. He has to play hurt. – [[The War of Art]]
