Quote by Anneli Rufus

“Inspiration is a flash. A momentary flicker that- if the would-be recipient is mired in mindless chatter- might easily die unseen. It cannot be repeated, duplicated, slowed down, cached for viewing at some more convenient time. The mind awaiting inspiration must be primed, ever awake, aware. For this it is best off alone.”

“Becoming a linchpin is a stepwise process, a path in which you develop the attributes that make you indispensable. You can train yourself to matter.

Every day, if you focus on the gifts, art, and connections that characterize the linchpin, you'll become a little more indispensable.”
