“Whether I'm on a deadline, or I'm distracted by other things going on in my life, or I just need to get through this thing in order to move on to something I'm more passionate about, I will unsheathe the pencil, move a delicious new blank piece of paper into the battlefield, and set myself to drawing in the fight to bring my idea to life.”

“You act like life is fulfilling a checklist. ‘I need to get a good wife or husband, then I get a good car, then I get a good house, then I get a promotion, then I get a better car and a better house and I make a name for myself and then…’ ” He rattled off more accomplishments that fulfill the American Dream. “But this plan will never materialize perfectly. And even if it does, then what? You don’t settle, you add more items to the checklist. It is the nature of desire to get one thing and immediately want the next thing, and this cycle of accomplishment and acquisitions won’t necessarily make you happy—if you have ten pairs of shoes you want eleven pairs.”
