A child has no trouble believing the unbelievable, nor does the genius or the madman. It’s only you and I, with our big brains and our tiny hearts, who doubt and overthink and hesitate.

Stay stupid. Follow your unconventional crazy heart.

Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work.

We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or attention or applause.

It is one thing to study war and another to live the warrior's life.

We’re all pros already. 1) We show up every day 2) We show up no matter what 3) We stay on the job all day 4) We are committed over the long haul 5) The stakes for us are high and real 6) We accept remuneration for our labor 7) We do not overidentify with our jobs 8 ) We master the technique of our jobs 9) We have a sense of humor about our jobs 10) We receive praise or blame in the real world

We will have to choose between the life we want for our future and the life we have left behind.
