i. Things to come back to when I’m feeling meh
John Steinbeck on ignoring the finish line and starting:
“Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page for each day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised.”
Focus on the process, on the journey, not on the finish line. There is not finish line, only what we leave behind when we’re gone.
Did we leave it better than we found it?
When you compromise your character, when you shrink, when you self-protect —
you lose energy, joy, and connection.
you lose energy, joy, and connection.

"I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on, nothing ever did unless I caused it.”
