If you want to get paid, find the contrast.
No one hears you if you sneeze in the middle of New York. But if you sneeze in a library, everyone does. The same concept applies to work.
It's better to dominate a small pond than drown in an ocean.
Everyone gets knocked down; the difference is who stays down.
When you’re on the ground, you’ll hear people saying, ‘That's not fair’ or ‘That shouldn't happen.’ The longer you lie there, the louder the voices become.
Getting up isn’t easy, but it’s the only way forward.
More fiction has been told in Microsoft Excel than in books.
Letter of Forgiveness
I am sorry for the time when I couldn’t find the words to tell you what you meant to me.
I am sorry the for the time when I couldn’t find the courage to see past my own inadequacy, when I couldn’t find the awareness to recognize the full extent of your own sufferings, and when I couldn’t summon the strength to keep you safe from harm and keep you by my side.
I am sorry for the time when I couldn’t find the kindness in me that I demanded of you.
I am sorry for the time I couldn’t keep my integrity, when I was dishonest, when I took us for granted.
I am sorry for the time of my thoughtless words that made you feel less than loved.
I am sorry and I love you.
Who’s to say I can’t do everything?

Welcoming madness.
Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life.
Jung
The first time you smell it, for whatever reason you always have to take a second sniff for confirmation. What’s that about?
What secrets does your subconscious hold from you?
If only it had written them down.
It only knows how to embed them in your muscle memory, accidentally spilling the beans with a twitch or a sigh.
