“My writing isn’t always about me, but it is me. It’s my pain. My hidden emotions. It’s the way I see life—both cruel and beautiful.”

![❤️ Main takeaways from The Passion Paradox ❤️
**Six key principles for the mastery mind-set**
1.) Drive from within 2.) Focus on the process 3.) Don’t worry about being the best—worry about being the best at getting better 4.) Embrace acute failure for chronic gains 5.)Patience 6.) Be here now
**Self awareness is the only countervailing force strong enough to match the extreme inertia of passion. Possessing it ensures that you can thoughtfully evaluate your passions; that you don't look back twenty years from now and regret how you spent your time.
**Keep your identity separate from your accomplishments.
**Enduring motivation comes from three basic needs: Competency, autonomy, and relatedness.
**As humans we tell stories to ourselves to get through events in our lives. They are either fixed (negative) ones, or growth (positive) ones.
**Mindfully living with a passion can be the key to a life well lived.

"Maybe the good life is not about trying to achieve some sort of illusory balance. Instead, maybe it's about pursuing your passions fully and harmoniously, but with enough self-awareness to regularly evaluate what you're not pursuing as a result-and make changes if necessary."
"When fear dies, you begin to live."
"Whether [passion] is a gift or a curse, that is largely up to you."](https://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/467502589_18038846723263710_3652445097272446033_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=9cXyAyK5fL4Q7kNvwG4jR-T&_nc_oc=AdlZ6UK9-U_e9R1HYbt3hfURvoayPDT972Yk-AjHW28kudo-iuS4iGqmyvlSXZrBvUk&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=SqgvCuxVBiknMEOnJLcSsQ&oh=00_AfTAEZDBQRzsXOVPkwwqQTINwKgBfi0gFakMtPbGD_A72g&oe=6871AAE1)
