If you don't start, you've failed already.

When you do important work, work that changes things and work that matters, it's inconceivable that
the change you're trying to make will be met with
complete approval.

Trying to please everyone will water down your
efforts, frustrate your forward motion and ultimately fail.

The balancing act is to work to please precisely the right people, and just enough of them, to get your best work out the door.

Shun the non-believers.

The problem with positive fantasies is that they allow us to anticipate success in the here and now.

However, they don't alert us to the problems we are likely to face along the way
and can leave us with less motivation—after all, it feels like we've already reached our goal.

As they say, don't give up on your dreams, but
don't fall under their spell either.

It is better to have a small number of people care a lot (community) than a large number of people care a little (fame).

"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but
newspapers."- Thomas Jefferson

"I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.” - Michael Jordan

A small percentage of something is better than a larger percentage of nothing.

"I'd be conceited if I said I could, but I'd be lying
if I said I couldn't" ~ Rocky Marciano

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should & let go of what you can't change.

Ignore the critics. Especially the ones who've never done anything. There's a reason for that.

Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.

Do not be discouraged. Ever!

When you stop doing things for fun and passion, you stop living and you start merely existing. If you truly want to change your life, you must first change your mind and your actions. Once you are ready to truly devote your time and energy to what calls to your soul, you will find your life unimaginably enriched.

@Frosti, you are on fire and I like it.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. ~ Albert Einstein

Never let others make you to forget your goals in life.
