Accept Quote by Pema Chodron
“Nobody else can really begin to sort out for you what to accept and what to reject in terms of what wakes you up and what makes you fall asleep. No one else can really sort out for you what to accept - what opens up your world - and what to reject - what seems to keep you going round and round in some kind of repetitive misery.”

Be in it because you really love the work, and the work keeps you up at night, and it keeps you motivated, and it wakes you up early in the morning because you have ideas.” quote by Rockmond Dunbar](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4cd/rockmond-dunbar-43361_acting_if-you-want-to-be-in-this-business-actin_620112.jpg)
