If too many things have to happen in order to bring about the situation you want, then back out of it and try again later.

The best way I have ever found to fill that hole is not to seek external motivations to fill the emptiness, but to ignite the internal fire that will never go out. To light up my own inner sky.

A lot of times, people send me emails, and then I forget about them, or I never respond to them, or I respond to them weeks later.

I love being honest and intimate with people. I love building community. I love emailing with readers.

Purpose is a man-made fiction. Nobody on their deathbed gets a plaque that says "he focused on only one thing for his entire life!" Those are counterfeit thoughts in a counterfeit society.

Life is a series of failures punctuated by brief successes.

Don't do something just for the money. Money is a side effect of persistence. You persist in things you are interested in. Explore your interests. Then persist. Then enjoy all the side effects.
