You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.

But who you are is not a concept in the sky, and it's not a record of you accomplishments either. The most original and creative side of you can re-emerge only when you get time of your own, free time, wide-open time, uncommitted time, time in which to go after dreams or do absolutely nothing if you choose. Without it you can't have a self.

Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away.

Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.

Irreverence is a declaration of independence.

If you don't know how you feel, you won't know what you want.
