People matter. Work for work's sake doesn't.

A clean house is important, because it creates a space for great things to happen. A spotless house isn’t.

Practicing smart and hard every day is very important. Missing one day’s practice isn’t worth losing sleep over.

Making sure you take care of your health is important. Messing up once in awhile on your diet is no big deal.
