We can get excited about an audacious and semi-ridiculous goal while remaining unattached if it doesn’t work out in the end.

When we can just do one thing at a time, a funny thing happens. We start to enjoy the thing, no matter how mundane.

You ever get that voice in your head that asks: ‘Am I doing the right thing with my life?’ Yes? Well. Me too. A lot.

I see that I am still here. Still alive.

I am here — this place where few venture: the quiet source of creative insight.

You and your thoughts move quicker. You start to pace. You’re in a mild panic.

If you’re not sick, you have it in you to add oxygen to that fire, even if it burns low today.

Your goal was never to finish, and likely never even to start. You might find it hard to see yourself as a finisher.

Do what you’re good at. Do what has the potential to thrill you, challenge you, and ideally do what will earn you a living, even if you can’t believe it can happen yet.

You see others making a great living doing what they do, working with outstanding clients.

It is massively important to keep up your drive; your love for the craft; your momentum. Now, more than ever.

I love how social media limits my creativity to a single square. It gets me to think hard about what makes an impact, how people can be helped without meaningless words, and what LOOKS good for people to click.

Techy stuff is everywhere, it’s here to stay, and it will continue to expand in its impact exponentially.

When you find yourself making the excuse: “I don’t have the time,” it’s almost never because you don’t have time.

Often, because we can’t bear the sensation for even a few minutes, we do things that feel good fleetingly, but once we’re done, we’re back to that feeling.

‘Writer’s block’ is the moment you know you should be writing and you can write, but you aren’t writing.

When we’re in hell, we don’t need a complex strategy. We just need to get back on firm ground.
