Surprise your doubts with action.

Laying on the floor and listening to music might be all the therapy that you need.

Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have.

The surest sign that you're working with the life-affirming kind of discipline, rather than the spirit-depressing kind, is that you don't complain very much about doing what it takes.

Passionately protest mediocrity.

If you try to keep your most sacred ambitions off of your weekly calendar and your most genuine traits off of your resume, then you're missing out on the power of real integrity.

Set out to do three or four things this year with gusto and excellence, rather than doing a dozen things just sufficiently. Trust me on this.
