1.
there is no better feeling
than feasting
on your own words
as they come out of your mouth.
2.
Genius might be the ability
to use grains of sand
efficiently,
like lying on a beach.
3.
Ambition
gets in the way of love
Love
leads you to ambition.
4.
It can be difficult to want something bad enough.
Wishes are like Butterflies
that float around.
Desires are like Deer
that run away.
Ambition doesn’t know what it wants
A lion is willing to kill anything,
if it’s hungry enough.
5.
If a man plots out his life
and he plots out his stories
and he plots out his process
he is unstoppable.
6.
Spend enough time alone
and you see things
differently.
What isn’t clear, becomes obvious.
7.
It feels good
to walk confidently
in your own direction.
8.
We fool ourselves with our beliefs
We pray for a different result
We hope that God will help us
We don’t try anything new
If we do,
we quickly lose faith.
The more actions that you take
The more likely your results will change.

Part 4 is the key, isn’t it. It’s ok to merely hope, if we are also happy when hope doesn’t come to fruition (and perhaps can see why). But if we want the fruit, we have to climb the tree: what drops by itself might not be quite what hope projected.
