When we turn pro we stop running from our fears. We turn around and face them.

Contempt for failure is our cardinal virtue.

Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.

The athlete knows the day will never come when he wakes up pain-free. He has to play hurt.

If you were meant to cure cancer or crack cold fusion and you don't do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children, you hurt me, you hurt the planet. You shame the angels who watch over you and you spite God Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts, for the sole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter further along its path back to God.

In my experience, depth of work consists of two components. The first is recklessness; the second is discipline. Dionysian; Apollonian. Passion;reason.

To yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be.
