Quitting my day job and starting my life as a writer was a tremendous risk, it was a fools leap, a shot in the dark. But anything of any value in our lives, whether that be a career, a work of art, a relationship, will always start with such a leap. And in order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely purely without fear, without desire. Because things we do without lust or result, are the purest actions that we shall ever take.
