"The hard way is rarely harder in terms of daily effort, but it is often harder psychologically.
It requires:

- trusting that small things will lead to big things
It’s a mental battle."

"3 things that help success:
1. Deconstructing your craft, so you know what good opportunities look like.
2. Remaining vigilant, so you notice when good breaks come your way.
3. Acting quickly, so you are more likely to seize an opportunity when it arrives."

Psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross on finding yourself:
"Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences; all events are blessings given to us to learn from. There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub."
