The person that angers you most, teaches you best

Reality is based on perception

Words without action are like wheels without traction. It is how you live that counts.

There has never been a greater illusion than fear. Fear exists only whilst you believe in it - whilst you fear it. So...stop believing, stop fearing. Set up a shadow inventory, write down all your fears and set out on your warrior path. Make this your life purpose and gold will be smelt from your terror.

Writing has been challenging at times but that's where all the growth is. I know I'm in the right place if it's difficult. Something a British writer said to me once was: If the project doesn't make him wobble, he doesn't take it. You have to be uncomfortable to grow.

Whatever inspires you fires you.

Stop trying to squeeze professional results out of recreational hours.

Remember, if you don't have a goal you're not playing football, you're just kicking a ball around the park.
