		<description>Wow, this was a really high quality post. In theory I&#039;d like to write like this too - taking time and actual effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and in no way appear to get something done.</description>

		<description>[...] Don’t Stop, Just Recognize “The Wall” It’s easy to get dejected when we run into life’s walls. That leads to lack of a feeling of success, which decreases motivation and &#8220;hunger&#8221; towards the goal as personal development blogger Sid Savara writes about, and makes you question what you are doing and why. This is natural and it’s where the actual self development work really occurs. Recognize a wall for what it is: a checkpoint. Use the experience to take stock of the situation. If you have the ability to ask others for feedback on your progress do it. It is likely you are making more progress than you think. I won’t make little “campy” statements like “Don’t Give Up” or “Break Down the Wall”. That has its place and I’ll assume you can draw on self help and personal development lingo to push yourself through, as I have written my thoughts about the concept of “Just Do It” here.

		<description>Great post, Marc. I particularly like this distinction: &quot;do what you need to do, when you don’t want to do it.&quot; If you link that to outcomes and projects that are about what you love and what&#039;s truly important to you, then you&#039;re sure to have great success with all your ventures. Thanks for joining the mastery conversation!

		<description>Mark, this is definitely a point that cannot be expressed enough. There are aspects of life that we shouldn&#039;t avoid no matter how much we may like to. Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and go ahead with it anyway. We only make things more difficult on ourselves when we avoid these necessities. 

Thanks for sharing!
