58. ROBERT GREENE: “EVERYBODY HAS
CREATIVE POTENTIAL. EVERYBODY, I BELIEVE.
AND I THINK THAT THE WORST FEELING IN
LIFE COMES FROM THE SENSE AS YOU GET
OLDER YOU DIDN’T SOMEHOW TAP THAT
POTENTIAL. YOU’RE NOT EXPRESSING
WHAT YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE
EXPRESSED. AND I THINK IT REALLY MAKES
A LOT OF PEOPLE VERY VERY UNHAPPY.”
These are the low energy moments in your day. You can take a break or push forward, but if you do, your body releases adrenaline and other chemicals that will fatigue you in the long run.
