If there is one lesson I've learned from failure and success, it's this. I am not the outcome. I am never the result. I am only the effort.

Success and failure come and go, but don't let them define you. It's who you are that matters.

If you're about to take a risk--one that comes from within, one that expresses your true nature, that brings up fear after fear after fear--you know what to do. One: do the work, create the value. Two: draw the people that encourage you closer. They're the only ones that matter.

Confidence comes from crossing thresholds.

You dive deeper, you strip away the cleverness and the words become more important than your ego and that's when you know it's real, when it's good.

Creating anything that never existed before is not sanity.

Threshold is where the madness ends and the magic begins.
