“Sort by category, in the correct order, and keep only those things that inspire joy. Do this thoroughly and quickly, all in one go. If you follow this advice, you will dramatically reduce the volume of things you own, experience an exhilaration you have never known before, and gain confidence in your life.”

“People speak of finding balance. To me, that's a misplaced ambition. If you have balance, you do everything okay. But to excel at your craft, you need obsessive, unbridled fanaticism. Not only does excellence require such commitment, it demands it. A life worth living is frenetic, disjointed, breakneck, add quite fantastic. Balance doesn't lead to happiness - impassioned dedication to one's life purpose does.”

“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.”

“Our achievements are generally limited only by the beliefs we impose on ourselves.
If we tell ourselves often enough that we don’t have what it takes, then that will inevitably become our reality.
But I also knew if I could somehow replace my doubt with hope, my fear with courage, and my self-pity with a sense of pride, then I just might be able to do this.
It would involve paying a huge price in sweat and hard work; it would involve having to train longer and harder than ever before.
And the mind would have to drive it all.
It was a decision I had already made years earlier.”
