There’s a big difference between what you actually enjoy doing and the daydream of what you want your identity to encapsulate.

Feelings of discontent can leave you paralyzed if you dwell on the feeling versus embracing that discontent and allowing it to propel you forward.

There’s no magic to the creative process. It’s about practicing every day, whatever your craft. That’s how you find your voice, how you get better, and how you create opportunities for yourself. You create your own momentum by doing the work.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work.

People don’t talk about the soul very much anymore. It’s so much easier to write a résumé than to craft a spirit. But a résumé is cold comfort on a winter night, or when you’re sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you’ve gotten back the chest X ray and it doesn’t look so good, or when the doctor writes “prognosis, poor.”

The problem is not a lack of passion for something. The problem is productivity. The problem is perception. The problem is acceptance.

And while it’s possible to brainstorm some ideas to help one get started, finding meaning and purpose is not a five-day spa retreat. It’s a fucking hike through mud and shit with golf-ball-sized hail pelting you in the face. And you have to love it. You really have to love it.
