  5. Quotes.
    1. James Clear: “In many cases, what you hope to learn by reading books or listening to podcasts can only be learned by attempting what you fear. Some knowledge is only revealed through action.”
    2. James Clear: “Creativity is the focused combination of unlikely things. Your mind locks onto a certain element and then searches widely for something unexpected that fits with it. What can scuba diving teach you about agriculture? What can trees teach you about public speaking? There is always some connective tissue between disciplines. If you wish to be more creative, look for the connections between two previously unconnected things.”
    3. James Clear: “The bad workouts are the most important ones. It’s easy to train when you feel good, but it’s crucial to show up when you don’t feel like it—even if you do less than you hope. Going to the gym for 15 minutes might not improve your performance, but it reaffirms your identity. It’s not always about what happens during the workout. It’s about becoming the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts.”
    4. James Clear: “A great relationship is not only finding the person you have fun with, but also finding the person you want to be bored with. The beauty of long-term relationships is often hidden in boring, ordinary moments.”

  8. Quotes
    1. “If there is no wind, row.” Source: I’m told the original version was possibly written by Virgil as “Destitutus ventis, remos adhibere.”
  9. I love the beauty and simplicity of the flag of New Mexico, and found myself drawing the sun symbol a lot, which I found out later was appropriated from the people of the Pueblo of Zia: “The symbol has a sacred meaning to the Zia. Four is a sacred number that symbolizes the Circle of Life: four winds, four seasons, four directions, and four sacred obligations.” (The four obligations — strong body, clear mind, pure spirit, and devotion to the welfare of your people —  reminded me a lot of the 4-H pledge I grew up saying. Everything is connected.)
