-Too many dumb people around these days. Taking stupid fashion pictures of themselves with pouty lips in clothes they. can't afford. Hanging with people they don't even like.
-I'd rather live a thoughtful life. A risky life. A real life. An artist's life. Drives me crazy how superficial people have become.
-Everything will be ok in the end. And if it is not ok, it's not the end.
-The soreness of growth is so much less expensive than the devastating costs of regret.
-We crave social approval. We want our peers to respect us. We hope our neighbors will like us. We buy all sort of things we really don't need and obsess about making money we really don't enjoy.
-We falsely believe that material from outside will fill what's empty within ourselves. Yet, it never will.
-We realize we are going to die. What's truly important comes into much sharper focus. We become more contemplative. We start to wonder if we have been true to our talents, loyal to our values, and successful on the terms that feel right to us. And we think about those we most love will say about us when we are gone.
