Concentrate, don't embroider.

Don't use an axe to embroider

Acting to me is always reacting.

It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it.

This mug of mine is as plain as a barn door. Why should people pay 35 cents to look at it?

Acting is not an important job in the scheme of things. Plumbing is.
