Find happiness and contentment in your work. Life is short. My extensive research indicates that we are all going to die anyway. Do your best. Follow your heart. When you win, celebrate. When you lose, just start over the next day.

You have to make mistakes to find out who you aren’t. You take the action, and the insight follows: You don’t think your way into becoming yourself. … Every single day I try to figure out something I no longer agree to do.

And that’s the deal – when a passion is pursued I need to release the idea that I’ll wake up with bluebirds tying ribbons in my hair and sunbeams streaming through my windows. Pursuing a passion is work. It is effort and time and being willing to take on more than is easy to handle. It is, in the simplest terms, a job.

The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on its brow
of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing. - Galway Kinnell

Success is when you know you reached a goal you set your heart on, no matter how large or small that goal is. It doesn’t have to be a million dollars in the bank, or appearing on the front cover of Writer’s Digest. It can be a small check for a short article, or being a finalist in one of Writer’s Digest’s contests. Every time you feel you’ve achieved something, that’s success.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
