If I can’t rest on my laurels, what am I supposed to do with them? Put them on a salad?

Rise and grind! Get up, go look in the mirror, and tell yourself that you’re going to be a better person than you were yesterday!

When I work to music, my heuristic for choosing it is easy: What would be the soundtrack for the montage of me getting all of this done?

All that you wish you could go back and change about your life—the chances you didn't take, the things you should have started earlier, the words you didn't say? Let them go. Your future self is screaming back to you about something else you should have done by now. Go do THAT.

‘I recently stopped my account & like many others, moved to & the first I encountered there was Yahia Lababidi.

What a delight! What a calm voice of reason. What an excellent poet. I am going to let Yahia speak for himself. Enjoy!’

If you want to be an overnight success tomorrow, all you have to do is start ten years ago.

This lady probably needs no introduction. Just in case, her name is J.K. Rowling and she is the author of Harry Potter. She suffered from acute depression between the ages of 25 and 28.
J.K. Rowling said, "It is that absence of feeling, that absence of hope. You don't know you can feel better. It is so difficult to describe to someone who hasn't been there, because it isn't sadness."
Up until today, her books have been sold in more than 500 million copies. Never give up!

I am as unmotivated as someone who is so unmotivated they can’t even come up with a colorful simile to describe their lack of motivation.

If I only accomplish one thing today, it will be finding a way to accomplish two or more things today.

I work hard every day to make possible the impossible. To do the undoable. To—uh—evit the inevitable.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

Or, you know, maybe you’re part of the solution to a different problem. There’s a lot of problems. You’re not responsible for all of them, especially not all at the same time.

Executive coach: You have ELEVEN strategic priorities. You need to focus on two, three tops! Ideally, you should have a single, key goal and give it your all.

Me: Focus on a single goal? I can do that!

Coach: Great! Which one?

Me: To become the person who can achieve eleven goals.

When I have many things demanding my attention, and I don’t know where to start, I rely on a technique I have used for years:

I sit here, quietly, for a moment, without doing anything.

And continue in that state for up to several hours.

True, I haven’t achieved everything I had planned to over the past two months, but I’m not going to let that stop me from feeling disappointed in myself.

I am coming to terms with the fact that I am not thriving.

But if I could muster the will to dig in, and face all the unpleasant experiences and hard work I’ve been avoiding, I would also not be thriving.

Hold on. I just need a few more minutes. I’m almost sufficiently dissociated to start work.
