Keep moving forward!
Quote
If I’ve learned one lesson from all that’s happened to me, it’s that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.
Sophie Kinsella
Success and failure
Quote

To the good life
Quote
Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… And to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.
Hunter S. Thompson

Go out there!
Quote
The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up.
Patrick Rothfuss
Just take the next step
Quote
“I can’t see a way through” said the boy.
“Can you see your next step?”
“Yes.”
“Just take that” said the horse.

Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration. The rest of us just get to work!
