“Part of my function as a writer is to dream awake. And that usually happens. If I sit down to write in the morning, in the beginning of that writing session and the ending of that session, I'm aware that I'm writing. I'm aware of my surroundings. It's like shallow sleep on both ends, when you go to bed and when you wake up. But in the middle, the world is gone and I'm able to see better.” IfsWorldWritingEndsDreamHappensAbleSleepMorningGoneMiddleBedFunctionWake UpAwakeShallowSurroundingsSession Author:Stephen King

“Oh, my God. What if you wake up some day, and you're 65 or 75, and you never got your novel or memoir written; or you didn't go swimming in warm pools or oceans because your thighs were jiggly or you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It's going to break your heart.

“Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on.” PeopleMatterHappensPainLastsFallThreeGrowsChallengesFiveFourMinutesGoes OnAreasWake UpNo Matter WhatAthleteChampionMusclesGutsDividesNo FearFive MinutesKill MeHave No FearFaintingGreat BodybuildingPassing Out Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
