Your passion is your qualification. It's your leading qualification.

If you don't do what Fear says...you'll go ahead and speak up, you'll sign up, you'll buy, you'll sell, you'll jump.

I focus for periods of time on creative work and I'm very insular during those times - not a lot of socializing. I play when I want. That means I can take off on a retreat, catch a matinee, make friends. My core desired feelings are my time management system.

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

Feel free to change. When you discover something true about yourself, put it in action regardless of who you were yesterday.

You're not going to die. Here's the white-hot truth: if you go bankrupt, you'll still be okay. If you lose the gig, the lover, the house, you'll still be okay. If you sing off-key, get beat by the competition, have your heart shattered, get fired...it's not going to kill you. Ask anyone who's been through it.

If your goals aren’t synced with the substance of your heart, then achieving them won’t matter much.
