Know yourself and you will win all battles.
The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.
Ernest Hemingway
I already have a hat made of live squirrel. Very warm and comfortable. They put their little stomach on top of my head and holds to my ears with their little hands. Tail goes around the neck. Very fashionable.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
when you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.

I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle
