"Never
again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant
things
that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along.
This applies to play as well as work.
A day merely survived is no cause for celebration.
You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have
the ability to accomplish so much
by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more
hiding from success.
Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!"
