Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it's not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly.

Stress such as you experience in exercise is what creates builds focus, strength, and the capability for expanded expression; and the same is true for any kind of performance.

The real issue is how to make appropriate choices about what to do at any point in time. The real issue is how we manage actions.

Creativity and freedom are two sides of the same coin. I like the best of both worlds.

Distracting reactions about anything undermine a clear mind about anything else.

Without a gut-level sense that you are ultimately in control of what's happening to you, you won't even consider the option that you could manage it better.

If we didn't have any stress, we'd never grow and you'd probably wouldn't test your mettle and you'd probably wouldn't come up with a lot of creative stuff that people come up with by being somewhat on the edge.
