“What happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object?”
In the story of the spear & the shield, a man was trying to sell a spear and a shield. When asked how good his spear was, he said that his spear could pierce any shield. Then, when asked how good his shield was, he said that it could defend from all spear attacks. Then one person asked him what would happen if he were to take his spear to strike his shield; the seller could not answer. A shield no man can penetrate and a spear without an object it cannot penetrate cannot in the same world be established.
This Chinese idiom is a classic example of the irresistible force paradox.
I have spent several days pondering the implications of the paradox in pursuit of practical implications. On the surface it seemed supernatural and in turn it’s value was limited to metaphor & metaphysics, but upon further examination & quandary I was reminded of this line:
“Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop.”
A line which I interpret to speak to the subconscious “instinctual” mind — can’t — and to the conscious “determined” mind — won’t — in its application.
What happens when a subconscious urge meets a conscious resolute desire?
They merge and either move forward faster or change direction, but in both cases — the motion is perpetual. Thus, no external force can be immovable to a resolute mind: Movement is relative and perspective is the primary factor impacting our relationship to external forces.
In life, the more you understand why things are happening, the better you can prepare for and respond to external factors.
People, places, & things will try to stand in your way, but at the end of the day — if you listen to your fast & slow thoughts — nothing can stop you, but you.
#YouVsYou
It’s easy to be weak & fall off. It takes another level of endurance to consistently get stronger, control the narrative and prosper.

Hey there, I just found your site, quick question…
My name’s Eric, I found aboutit.co after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well.
So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?
Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.
That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.
Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste?
Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.
But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?
You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.
