Our job in this life is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it. - Steven Pressfield

Warrior cultures (and warrior leaders) enlist shame, not only as a counter to fear but as a goad to honor. The warrior advancing into battle (or simply resolving to keep up the fight) is more afraid of disgrace in the eyes of his brothers than he is of the spears and lances of the enemy.

Don’t think. Act. We can always revise and revisit once we’ve acted. But we can accomplish nothing until we act.

Of any activity you do, ask yourself: If I were the last person on earth, would I still do it?
