Risk the stuff. It's worthless anyway. But don't make the insane choice of sacrificing your happiness for stuff.

Using passion as your only fuel will no more assure you of success than being in love will ensure a successful long-term relationship.

Don’t die without embracing the daring adventure your life is meant to be. You may go broke. You may experience failure and rejection repeatedly. You may endure multiple dysfunctional relationships. But these are all milestones along the path of a life lived courageously. They are your private victories, carving a deeper space within you to be filled with an abundance of joy, happiness, and fulfillment. So go ahead and feel the fear. Then summon the courage to follow your dreams anyway.

Courageous people are still afraid, but they don't let the fear paralyze them.

Realize that you earn income by providing value - not time - so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

If you don’t take the time to get really clear about exactly what it is you’re trying to accomplish, then you’re forever doomed to spend your life achieving the goals of those who do.

If you want to express your creativity, then don't choose a path where someone else tells you what to do and how to do it. Choose a path where creativity is rewarded, not punished.
