“And people would say, “Aren’t you afraid you’re never going to have any success ? Aren’t you afraid the humiliation of rejection will kill you ? Aren’t you afraid that you’re going to work your whole life at this craft and nothing’s ever going to come of it and you’re going to die on a scrap heap of broken dreams with your mouth filled with bitter ash of failure ?”

The short answer to all those questions is, “Yes.” Yes, I’m afraid of all those things.

Elizabeth Gilbert

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs
