It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Claiming your 20s is one of the simplest, yet most transformative, things you can do for work, for love, for your happiness, maybe even for the world.
The things you do in your 20s will shape your future.
You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.
Do what you love, and the money will follow.
You cannot always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on inside.
Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.
The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.
I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a new level.
The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.
Most of what matters in our lives takes place in our absence.
Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.
Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.
