Hey friend,

Here’s a list of the best quotes I’ve collected from my favourite philosophers, creators and thought leaders.

1/. "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." – Pablo Picasso

4/ "You don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to.” - Vienna Pharaon

5/ "Follow your talent. Passion will come along for the ride." - Scott Galloway

13/ “Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.” - Berne Brown

14/ “The greatest tragedy of the family is the unloved lives of the parents”. Carl Jung

15/ “How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” - Senneca

16/ “What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.” – Charles Bukowski

17/ “Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.” - M. Scott Peck

18/ “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl

19/ “Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment”. - Felix Dennis

24/ “Writing is often the process by which you realize you do not understand what you are talking about.” - Shane Parrish

25/ “We want progress without change, and change without pain, but you can’t have a better world without some discomfort”. - Atul Gawande

26/ “The most important things in life are: to be at peace with yourself, to have serenity, to have good health, and to be able to do what you love." - Brunello Cucinelli

How To Break Through Writer’s Block

"Don't address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone. Pretend you are writing each of them a letter on behalf of your client." - David Ogilvy

One of the biggest challenges we face with clients is who to write for. It’s easy to try and write for everyone. But by doing so, you write for no one.

Instead, get super clear on the one person you want to find and write for them. The beauty of the Internet means there are thousands of more people just like them.

When you get specific, the ideas will flow.
