When you look around at the six people that you spend the most time with, that's who you are. I think that in making those decisions in who you are going to be married to, who your friends are going to be, those are really huge, critical, life decisions. Who gets to talk to you everyday, is almost like the food that you eat. It is a very huge critical situation to choose who the people are that you are spending your life with, spending your time with and who you are choosing to give your love and everything to.
You’ll never achieve 100 percent if 99 percent is okay.
If anybody can find someone to love them and to help them through this difficult thing that we call life, I support that in any shape or form
Human beings are not creatures of logic; we are creatures of emotion. And we do not care what's true. We care how it feels.
Something hurts, lean in. You just lean into that point until it loses its power over you. There's a certain amount of suffering that you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. And the real trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving.
I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.
Marriage is the hardest thing you will ever do. The secret is removing divorce as an option. Anybody who gives themselves that option will get a divorce.
When you're running and you are there, there's a little person that talks to you and that little person says “Oh, I'm tired”, “My lounge's about to pop”, “I'm so hurt”, “I'm so tired”, “There's no way I can possibly continue”. And you wanna quit. Right? That person, if you learn how to defeat that person when you're running you will learn how to not quit when things get hard in your life.
I believe that I can create whatever I want to create. If I can put my head on it right, study it, learn the patterns, and - it's hard to put into words, it's real metaphysical, esoteric nonsense, but I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.
Why is life at this point in the twentieth century so focused upon the very beginning of life and the very end of life? What about the 80 years we have to live between those two inexorable bookends?
I am inspired beyond my ability to articulate... and now I know what and who I want to be... a soldier for peace.
Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.
Being realistic is the quickest path to mediocrity
Never lie to people, because the people you are able to lie to, are the people who trust you.
