“We must risk delight. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.” Jack Gilbert (from Big Magic by @GilbertLiz )
“Possessing a creative mind, after all, is something like having a Border Collie for a pet. It needs to work or it will cause you an outrageous amount of trouble.” -Elizabeth Gilbert @GilbertLiz (book: Big Magic)
“We need the tonic of wildness... At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable.” (Walden, HDT)

I feel that it’s crucial to have a clear recognition of the value of your objective. That's the important thing. Recognizing that your objective is worthy, because it involves others' welfare or the general well-being of the community, gives you the determination to pursue it.
