‘Don’t think about or talk about doing it, do it.’


‘Deciding how important a decision is, is the most important decision you can make.’


‘Stress is the enemy of creativity. Our best work often comes from a state of nonchalance, when our minds are calm.’


‘Success takes time and is more of a path made of tiny little stepping stones, not just one big door to be unlocked and then instantly achieved.’


‘It will be liberating for you to have the permission to suck.’
