“Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.”

“In the measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set the context and let life unfold.”

“I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.”

“Being mindful means that we suspend judgment for a time, set aside our immediate goals for the future, and take in the present moment as it is rather than as we would like it to be.”

“Stay focused on your goal and never let your mind cloud you with doubt - or conceit for that matter.”

“Remember: Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations. Plot is observed after the fact rather than before. It cannot precede action. It is the chart that remains when an actionis through. That is all Plot ever should be. It is human desire letrun, running, and reaching a goal. It cannot be mechanical. It canonly be dynamic. So, stand aside, forget targets, let the characters, your fingers, body, blood, and heart do.”
