Great writing is an allusion to the transcendent.  While grammar and structure might be helpful, they’re simply a means, not an end.  The rules can be ignored if you direct your audience’s mind onto the Wordless.

(Which can be done, ironically, through the inspired use of words.)

When others try and convince you you’re crazy, they may be right.

Or you might be way too sane for their collective comfort.

One of the key things that allows me to dream, to keep striving and seeing what I can do with my remaining time, is to accept that reality as I know it seems to be an illusion.

If it’s all a dream, why not craft it into something amazing?

The majority seem to like claiming they know the truth.

But only the minority will call themselves out on self-directed lies.

(Which, ironically, is integral to perceiving the unvarnished truth.)

It’s too bad that society discourages us from divulging our “weaknesses.”

I think we should be proud of our injuries, proud of our scars, proud of what we did to manage or overcome them, and proud of how we cope with them now.

To me, that’s not weakness.  That’s the most alpha thing I can possibly think of.

As a collective, we only seem to exist so we can survive and perpetuate.

But as individuals, we can go beyond that.  We can study our inclinations and tendencies, and use that knowledge to find/pursue an endeavor that elevates our minds and lifts our spirits.

Instead of simply going through the motions, we can try and play to win.

In order to attain a high level of skill, you’re probably going to have to stick with the fundamentals.

Occasionally, try and cheat them just in case.  You might be a rare exception—you might possess unusual talent.  You don’t want to shortchange yourself by refusing to be audacious.
