“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

“As Seth Godin says, “Anxiety is nothing but repeatedly re-experiencing failure in advance.” 

“In other words, a sure-fire way to predict the future is to take no action at all. When you do nothing, you get nothing.” 

“Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.”

“The world needs you. It needs your energy and what you have to offer, so let’s work together to make sure you dedicate that time and energy to something that matters—both to the world, and to you.” 

“I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through—then follow through.”  

“John F. Kennedy once said, “There are risks and costs to action.” 

“As Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art describes: “Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember our rule of thumb: The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.” 

“Create mode is when you’re imaginative, creative, and open to new ideas. Edit mode is when you are logical, regulated, and analytical. Most of us constantly switch back and forth between the two within a given piece of work, like when we write an email. You write a small part, read it, make edits, and then write some more. The major issue is that your editor brain gets in the way of your creator brain. It stops the flow, which can remove the potential of amazing thoughts that you didn’t even know exist in your head from ever coming out. You need these thoughts to surface during this experiment, but your editor brain can get in the way because it’s too focused on making everything right or perfect. Thinking puts your editor brain into the driver’s seat.”
