“For as children tremble and fear everything in the blind darkness, so we in the light sometimes fear what is no more to be feared than the things children in the dark hold in terror and imagine will come true.”

— Lucretius, On the Nature of Things

Non si ha bisogno degli occhi per amare, giusto? Lo senti semplicemente dentro di te. E in paradiso è così che funziona. È soltanto amore, e nessuno dimentica le persone che ha amato.

R.J. Palacio, “Wonder”. (via chi-va-piano-arriva-dopo)

“Le storie sono come barche. Non c'è storia di lotta o ricerca che non porti il nome di una donna inciso sullo scafo. La donna è il viaggio e la meta. E quale amore riesce a farsi storia? Solo l'amore che non smette mai di avanzare, qualunque sia la tempesta che incontra.”

— Alessandro D’Avenia, “Ogni storia è una storia d'amore”.

You’re Not Lazy

I asked a group of professionals recently what they thought was holding them back and one comment I heard was “Laziness.” I suppose it’s remotely possible that laziness is holding them back, but more likely, there is something behind the laziness—if I allow myself to call it that.

1. Do you think that what you do doesn’t matter? 2. Do you feel no one listens to you? 3. Have you been trained not to try anymore? 4. Are you constantly too tired to do your best? 5. Are you too hard on your own efforts? 6. Do you have no one on your side or who believes in you? 7. Who are you listening to? 8. Do you need more rewards to try? 9. Are you working on something you hate? 10. Do you need to make a big chance in your life—are you saving up energy for that?

Just because you aren’t producing the same number of words as someone next to you doesn’t mean you’re “lazy.” Just because you spend time doing something else that’s easier/more enjoyable than writing doesn’t mean you’re “lazy.” Maybe it would be worthwhile to consider the reasons you aren’t doing what you think you want to do (like maybe you don’t really want to do it) or that you aren’t doing what you want to do (like maybe there are other hurdles in your way.)

The evening hangs beneath the moon, a silver thread on darkened dune. With closing eyes and resting head I know that sleep is coming soon. Upon my pillow, safe in bed, a thousand pictures fill my head, I cannot sleep, my mids aflight; and yet my limbs seems made of lead.

Eric Whitacre - Sleep

So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.
