Steven Pressfield with a story of an idea, a kiss, and two successful authors.
Funny to me because yesterday I ran across the Sigmund Freud quote, "Where does a thought go when it is forgotten?" And this morning I get somewhat of an answer to that question. The muse at work?
Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.
"When you say yes to others, make sure you are not saying no to yourself." - Paulo Coelho
"Inspiration is perishable, act on it immediately." - Naval Ravikant
"Men cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard." - Albert Camus
"Discipline creates opportunity." - Shane Parrish
Today's Steven Pressfield post on Rick Rubin's new book The Creative Source describes what Rubin calls the Source. It's what Pressfield calls "the muse" but it remind me of Eckhart Tolle and his book The Power of Now and especially this quote:
"...as light emanates from the sun. Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source." - Eckhart Tolle
Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.
"It's just that I'd rather die of drink than of thirst." - Ian Fleming
"Politics are almost as exciting as war and quite as dangerous.... in war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times." - Winston Churchill
"Most of the time, someone saying that you 'have to invest' has a financial interest in 'having you invest.'" - Jack Raines
"None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." - Thomas Edison
