Think. Refrain. Steadfast. Fair
2 ears. 1 mouth, for concise brevity.
Goodness over greatness.
Attainment over obtainment
A successful life is a curious life, to paraphrase Bruce Diller.
Fear: a momentary emotion of beasts
Anxiety: beastly fear of the future
Look at everything you have and all that you don’t need. What then is there to complain about?
It isn’t just what we do; goodness is often in what we don’t do.
Don’t be afraid of your anger. Confront it. It is a lie you tell yourself.
It is enough if your opinion is based on understanding, your action on unselfishness, and your attitude on acceptance.
Marcus Aurelius
On storytelling:
- The most epic story: the big bang, yet it’s still a mystery.
- I don’t know what chapter my story is in right now. Are chapters just imaginary divisions we use to better tell stories? Of course they are.
- Barrett was a great storyteller. Ideomotion was his greatest story of all.
- I’ll tell my story to nearly anyone, but only if I think they genuinely care.
- If I could tell my younger self a bedtime story, I think I would tell the story of the 3 legged pig (hat-tip: Norm McDonald) #conflagration
- the best stories are true, are they not?
