The Creative Act: A Way of Being

by Rick Rubin

Impatience is an argument with reality. The desire for something to be different from what we are experiencing in the here and now. A wish for time to speed up, tomorrow to come sooner, to relive yesterday, or to close your eyes then open them and find yourself in another place.

Undoubtedly my favorite quote from this book. I need to hear this every day of my life!
