Your beliefs about reality become your beliefs about yourself.
Risk the stuff. It’s worthless anyway. But don’t make the insane choice of sacrificing your happiness for stuff.

If you want to express your creativity, then don’t choose a path where someone else tells you what to do and how to do it. Choose a path where creativity is rewarded, not punished.
Realize that you earn income by providing value – not time – so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

Achieving meaningful goals requires that you commit your entire ass, not just one cheek.
I realized that my bliss and my heartbreak both point in the same direction. I follow my joy and my heartbreak simultaneously because they’re two sides of the same coin.
