When I wake up, I don't worry about why the mountain is there. I just start climbing.
I never look at the glass as half empty or half full. I look to see who is pouring the water and deal with them.
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done.
Do what you can to do what you ought, and leave hoping and fearing alone.
Lack of genius never held anyone back. Only time wasted on resentment and daydreaming can do that.
A goal of mine is to try and be as real as possible. To try and not comment on the work I'm doing but just do it.
The point is the doing of them rather than the accomplishments . There is no actor but the action; there is no experiencer but the experience.
I am sick of talking about What and Why I am doing. I have always believed that the WORK is the word. Action is seen less clearly through reason. There are no shortcuts to directness.
When once a decision is reached and execution is the order of the day, dismiss absolutely all responsibility and care about the outcome.
I don't do a lot of reflecting. I'm usually about getting on with it.
