The ability to ignore a trigger but remember its bearer is the finest art of warfare.

A trigger is best dealt with when the gun is either on safety or no longer loaded.

Let it slide in the moment and wait for your moment. When it comes, seize it.

There was a time I felt like I was trapped in a corner every time someone asked me to lend them money.

90% of the time, lending out money is a bad idea that didn’t just lose me money, but it also soured the relationship that existed.

I have learned that with any commitment, you either go 100% or you’re as good as being at 0%. So I have a 100% no-lending rule and a 100% no-borrowing rule.

The no-lending rule is uncomfortable in the now, but it helps put a boundary that protects my relationships.

The no-borrowing rule is uncomfortable in the now, but it helps me plan within my means.

Work with what works for you.

Until you can laugh at the joke life is telling through a situation, you will remain overwhelmed by the situation.

Grandparents are in awe of nature because they can quickly recognize a pattern between how you were as a child and how your own child is now.

If you ask, they will tell you the similarities, and you will be amazed at how powerful genetics is, beyond physical attributes, to behavior and mannerisms.

I had a beautiful epiphany, facilitated by my mom today. I haven’t stopped smiling since.

You need a space where you can empty all of you.

You also need to declutter that space after the emptying.

You also need to create space for that space to empty all of itself into.

You also need to declutter the created space after receiving.

That space is a trusted person.

A feature of life is its curveballs.

The trick is to grow because of them, not in spite of them.

Some days hold so much emotion they paralyze you.

Such days hold just one focus but many thoughts outside your control.

On such days, don’t forget to breathe. Bring that same focus to your breathing. And chin up. All kinds of days pass if you keep breathing.

There is only one priority: your health.

All choices should feed that priority.

No trade-off can justify losing your health. None.

Don’t wait for life to teach you this truth.

Some lessons are better learned without experience.

Prioritize your health, now, always.
