“So if waiting is an aggravation, it is at least partly because we do not like being reminded of our limits. We like doing -- earning, buying, selling, building, planting, driving, baking -- making things happen, whereas waiting is essentially a matter of being -- stopping, sitting, listening, looking, breathing, wondering, praying. It can feel pretty helpless to wait for someone or something that is not here yet and that will or will not arrive in its own good time, which is not the same thing as our own good time.” IfsFeelsMatterHappensWaitingWonderBuildingListeningPrayingLimitsSittingDrivingThings HappenSellingBreathingBuyingGood TimesHelplessEarningStoppingBakingAggravation Book:Gospel Medicine Source: Gospel Medicine

“I have an argument that to master any field, it's simple: it's a function of time. How much you devote yourself to the process, how much experience you get, how much you're willing to expand your limits, how willing you are to develop your own style. If you're willing to put 10,000 hours, something amazing is going to happen.” IfsHappensProcessHoursSimpleStyleFieldsWillingMastersLimitsArgumentFunction Author:Robert Greene
