You come to a point where you realize your work doesn't save you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.
You reach a point where you don't work for money.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, an employee, a student, a homemaker, a writer, it's time to start forgetting about all the ways the world has promised you safety and comfort.
I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good.
I think I've realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don't do as by the things you do.
I can't tell you how many times I quit only to realize that when the work has been your life, you don't really have a life without it.
I mean, there are times when you aren't working, but still believe that work will come.
Working gets in the way of living.
You get better at working by working. And if you don't work, you're not getting better.
When I feel like I'm doing my best work, there is a bit of a freedom, a bit of flight that you're not so much losing yourself but you're sort of in the zone.
