More From Nadine Gordimer

As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment. whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. whatever you habitually think sinks into the subconscious. the subconscious is the seat of the emotions and is a creative mind. once subconscious accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. whatever you feel is true, your subconscious will accept and bring forth into experience.

My childhood is streets upon streets upon streets upon streets. streets to define you and streets to confine you, with no sign of motorway, freeway or highway.

Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.

There isn't a single day i don't do some writing -- if you don't, you won't have a book. when you're self-employed it is very easy to burn away your time instead -- answering e-mails, surfing the internet, or hanging out with friends. you really must have the discipline to sit down and write every day. most of what i am writing is living in the back of my head or in my subconscious. i find if i write every day, my subconscious will do the job for me.

You are life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul. once you find that out, not with logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that life-you find out that you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. you find out that you are in every tree, and you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock. you are that force that moves the wind and breathes through your body. the whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. you are life.

The fame thing is interesting because i never wanted to be famous, and i never dreamt i would be famous....you know i didn't think they'd rake through my bins, i didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lens. i never dreamt it would impact my daughter's life negatively, which at times it has. it would be churlish to say there's nothing good about being famous; to have a total stranger walk up to you as you're walking around safeways, and say a number of nice things that they might say about your work.

What is this i hear of sorrow and weariness, anger, discontent and drooping hopes? degenerate sons and daughters, life is too strong for you— it takes life to love life.

We're in a digital age where it's cool to be on your iphone all the time. all of out-of-school activities my daughter has such as piano one day and acting another day and dance another day are about getting her away from that. people are on video games and their phones, and it's taking up all their mental space.
