If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.
David Bowie

Progresses onward: not all your Devotion nor Intelligence
Can coax it back to amend a single Phrase,
Nor all your Weeping erase a Syllable of it.

When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can.

Someday, some way, everything will break open, like the natural unfolding of a rosebud.
Vernon Howard

Maya Angelou
16.

Persistence is perseverence. Not meekly persisting. That is apathy. But to continue when the journey is arduous and sluggish - that is persistence. The two mightiest combatants are patience and duration.

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such
Henry Miller
