Most men make the error of thinking that one day it will be done. They think, “If I can work enough, then one day I could rest.” … It never ends. As long as life continues, the creative challenge is to tussle, play, and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.
One misunderstanding is that if you do the right thing, then life's storms will stop. If you do the right thing, the storms actually get bigger. This is because they know they can't blow you down like they used to, and now it's going to take a lot more energy to find out if you are conscious.
In any given moment, a man’s growth is optimized if he leans just beyond his edge, his capacity, his fear. He should not be too lazy, happily stagnating in the zone of security and comfort. Nor should he push far beyond his edge, stressing himself unnecessarily, unable to metabolize the experience. He should lean just slightly beyond the edge of fear and discomfort. Constantly. In everything he does.
