Enjoy the process as much as possible.
There is no “there” there.

We are created by an incredibly creative force capable of vast diversity and immense power. Every brilliant person and every phenomenal idea was formed by the same force that created you.

We will NEVER get everything done. Period. End of story.
Focusing on how much we have to do is overwhelming and defeating. Rather, it’s important to pay attention to what you can do and what you have already done.
