“I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. I mean, if you really want to make a living, go to Wall Street and trade oil futures ... We're writers. We're doing something that is inherently a generous act. We're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. Why do that if you're not willing to be generous? And paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. But that's secondary. For me, the privilege of being generous is why I get to do this.” IfsWantWritingMeanTurnsWonderStreetsWillingWallTradePrivilegeOilGenerousMore MoneyMuseExposingBeing Generous Author:Seth Godin
“We are going to die, as is everyone we adore - I hate this! But the question is, how do we live as women and men in the face of this? Why do we let ourselves be so distracted and obsessed by meaningless B.S. in light of having one short, precious life? When are we going to wake up and be fully alive to each other and nature and magic and wonder and Life with a capital L? When will we stop hitting the snooze button? And then, how alive are we willing to be?” MenLightFacesHateDiesWonderAliveMagicWillingMen And WomenI HateWake UpObsessedMeaninglessHittingButtonsAdoreDistractedPrecious LifeSnooze Button Author:Anne Lamott
