DO IT RIGHT, DO IT WRONG, BUT DO IT. Squeeze your eyes shut and jump. Because a wonderful thing happens then. Your focus shifts from yourself, your nervousness, and your imagined inadequacies to the task at hand.

Being judgmental about your own behavior is actually another cop-out because it makes you feel as though you're doing something virtuous.

The first step is to find out what you love - and don't be practical about it. The second step is to start doing what you love immediately, in any small way possible.

Sometimes the only thing we do to avoid success is refuse to be energetic on our own behalf

It's only too late if you don't start now.

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream.

You don't have to get it right the first time.
