years ago someone suggested using the word devotion instead of discipline and I swear it’s the only reason I am so committed to the things that I love ~ bc devotion is an act of love ~ while discipline feels like an act of force
How do you get from starting small to doing something great? By making successive versions. Great things are almost always made in successive versions. You start with something small and evolve it, and the final version is both cleverer and more ambitious than anything you could have planned.
still one of my favorite lines of all time:
and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?
