But life doesn’t often spell things out for you or give you what you want exactly when you want it, otherwise it wouldn’t be called life, it would be called vending machine.
It’s hard to say exactly when it will happen, and it’s true that whatever you’re after may not drop down the moment you spend all your quarters, but someday soon a train is coming. In fact, it may already be on the way. You just don’t know it yet.
There’s more comedy in failure than in success, and it’s a much more universal language. At the party, the worst jobs also seemed to be the ones everyone felt most proud to have endured. It’s an accomplishment to do something well, but maybe even a bigger one to do something well when you’d really rather not be doing it at all.
An important tool against self-doubt is just to ignore it. Forge ahead anyway. Just keep going, keep going, keep going.
It is infinitely better to write fewer hours every day than many hours one day and none the next.
Often, waiting reveals the truth about something, and not responding to your every impulse can save you the heartache of waking up in the morning with a sense of regret
Spend some time with just yourself and your thoughts and nothing to do. How else will you learn who you are?
If absolutely everything important is only happening on such a small screen, isn’t that a shame? Especially when the world is so overwhelmingly large and surprising? Are you missing too much?
Kelly spoke to him that first day on set. “Ed? We know you’re here. We miss you,” she said, and everyone choked up.
I still can’t believe it. Can you believe it? We made it! We’re here! These strange and wonderful days are actually happening!
If you’re out on the road Feeling lonely and so cold All you have to do is call my name And I’ll be there on the next train Where you lead, I will follow Anywhere that you tell me to If you need, you need me to be with you I will follow where you lead
