Habit is necessary; it is the habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive.
Stuckness shouldn’t be avoided. It’s the psychic predecessor of all real understanding.
Robert M. Pirsig
I am the master of my fate: / I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
Dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It’s hard work that makes things happen. It’s hard work that creates change.

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.
People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.
We’ve always done it this way” is not a good enough reason to keep doing it if it isn’t working. When an otherwise smart habit or ritual loses its potency and you continue doing it, you’re in a rut.
Things may get a little odd at times, but they work out. You don’t have to try very hard to make them work out; you just let them.
Whatever you want to accomplish, stop overthinking it. You don’t need to have it all together. You just need to get on with it. You change your life by doing, not by thinking about doing.
Gary John Bishop
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Samuel Beckett
We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins.
