When people give you their stated reason for doing something always assume they are giving you a reason that sounds good, but not the real reason.

Sometimes it's better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. Out of silence comes the greatest creativity.

Being fearless precisely when you are most scared is the best hack.

Success comes from continually expanding your frontiers in every direction-creatively, financially, spiritually, and physically. Always ask yourself, what can I improve? Who else can I talk to? Where else can I look?

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.

Your hands are not made to type out memos. Or put paper through fax machines. Or hold a phone up while you talk to people you dislike. 100 years from now your hands will rot like dust in your grave. You have to make wonderful use of those hands now. Kiss your hands so they can make magic.

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.
