We are like violins. We can be used as doorstops, or we can make music.

Isolation is the dream killer.
Barbara Sher
Image
Everyone has unique gifts and talents. What you love is what you're gifted at. To be completely happy, to live a completely fulfilled life, you have to do what you love.

Action helps you think and raises your self-esteem. Good luck happens when you're in action. Ask yourself, Does this go toward or away from what I want? There's an animal in us, and it has great instincts. Scan for a desire and follow it. Set a goal, any goal, and start doing everything you can think of to achieve it.

But who you are is not a concept in the sky, and it's not a record of you accomplishments either. The most original and creative side of you can re-emerge only when you get time of your own, free time, wide-open time, uncommitted time, time in which to go after dreams or do absolutely nothing if you choose. Without it you can't have a self.

Every time you worry that you could get trapped in some kind of work you don't care about, you're dealing with the problem of meaningfulness. I guarantee that in the back of your mind is the thought that somehow you have to make a contribution to something, be acknowledged, do something that matters-or you're just fooling around.

Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.
Barbara Sher
Image
Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.
Barbara Sher
Image
When you start using senses you've neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.
Barbara Sher
Image
You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.
Barbara Sher
Image
DO IT RIGHT, DO IT WRONG, BUT DO IT. Squeeze your eyes shut and jump. Because a wonderful thing happens then. Your focus shifts from yourself, your nervousness, and your imagined inadequacies to the task at hand.

Originality is genius. If you respect and care for it, it will take you on the ride of your life.
