There are patterns of choices & behaviors which direct us down the same paths again & again. Thoughts lead to emotions which lead to action to make the pain stop. Figure out what triggers these cycles or you’ll keep arriving at the same destination.

If you want to witness the pinnacle of human selfishness, drive in a car for more than five minutes in a populated area.

Guilt & Shame are powerful cultural forces; they’re how we keep those around us in line with the status quo.

A life dominated by fear leads to a dead-end destination where so many remorseful souls hang their hats next to their unfinished bucket lists.

On your death bed, I highly doubt you’ll be wishing you had been more negative throughout your life. - Be cognizant of where your thoughts wander - Complain less - Let things slide (water off a duck’s back)
