Falling for fall LOLOL
Oh, hi friends!
Happy first day of fall. THE BEST OF ALL SEASONS.
What are you doing?
Today, right now.

This season.
What do you want to do? Sign up for a class, start writing, learn a new skill, connect with smart people, there are literally eight billion things you can do.
Take 30 seconds to think about one — hit “reply” and tell me if you’d like! — and now please start. Something. Anything.
Begin begin begin.
"Success starts from this: When you are doing work you like that you believe in, and that is your motivation. It’s not being motivated by money or glory or kudos or slaps on the back. I get a buzz when I think of sharing stuff I have done that I like. That’s it. I get excited when actors that I like are reading aloud lines of dialogue that I have written. Not because it means I am important, but because it means I am involved in the creation of something that that excites me with people I admire or even love. It’s really simple. I would like to write a novel, paint, maybe write some songs. That’s freedom. And freedom is success. Success is compromising as little as possible. Success is also when you feel you have done something that is of some consequence, to have touched someone else, to have liberated them, to connect with and inspire someone. That is success. Success is personal."
