Wonderful! These two quotes especially spoke to me:
"If that which you seek is not within you, where will you go to find it?"
—Doreen Valiente
"How do we pick up on a signal that cannot be either heard nor defined? The answer is not to look for it. Nor do we attempt to predict or analyze our way into it. Instead, we create an open space that allows it."
—Rick Rubin
I really struggle with this, even though I know it to be true!
I know...for a fact...that after a certain time of day or after banging away at my work for a certain period of time...I know I'm just wearing myself out.
The work isn't getting better (in fact, it's getting worse), and I my body isn't getting any healthier sitting at a desk trying.

Me too...

Yet....day after day, I do it anyway 🙄
Why do we do this?!
...we've been told to "work hard," "study hard," and "try hard" since birth.
Turns out...it was bad advice 🤫
"Work joyfully, be curious, and try as many different things as you can" might have been a better plan.
🤣
YES!
