Freedom comes from acceptance of all parts of the journey — like paddling a canoe across the ocean — to be able to do so calmly, gracefully, rather than constantly trying to find land, some imagined sanctuary of security, validation, or permission.

the secret to freedom in art & business — kening zhu
“I had accomplished enough in the business world and seen enough of it that I started just asking some basic questions, like, ‘What is it that I really love?’ And, ‘What would I do if money was not an object?’ I think everyone should ask themselves that question.
