It is easier to tolerate conflict when you are wound up and expecting it. It requires a much more skillful touch and a stronger constitution to be easy, free and geared up for peace, but competent and ready for battle.

Be earnest! It's more vulnerable, but infinitely better for all of us, and one of the best ways to make the most of your 4000 weeks.

Focus on becoming the person you need to be to accomplish the goals that you need to accomplish, to achieve the dreams that you have for yourself. Think of yourself as the author, not the character...
