I've said it before and will say it again.
You can seem like a millionaire to one person and a homeless person to the next. The ants think you are a giant and the trees don't even notice you.
You think you have a boring life, but the next person might be striving for your lifestyle. Comparison is the thief of joy so stay kind and keep loving life. Life is all just a big game of perspective.

The most dangerous thing you'll ever tell yourself is "I'm just not good at that."
Because the truth is you were never born knowing anything. you learned to walk, talk, read, and every single skill you have right now. Everything else is just something you haven't learned yet.
The only real limit is whether you're willing to be bad at something long enough to get good at it.
The world will make you think that every blessing has to be financial, so you underrate the gift of life, friends, health, and peace of mind.

You don’t need everyone to believe the ledger is honest. You need the math to not care whether they do.

Ever wonder why pee is yellow? Not just the indicator that you’re dehydrated…
It’s a pigment called urobilin. When your body breaks down old red blood cells, the hemoglobin inside them gets converted into a compound called bilirubin. Your liver processes that bilirubin and sends it through your gut, where gut bacteria convert some of it into urobilin. Your kidneys filter that out, and it’s what gives urine its color.
Your body produces roughly the same amount of urobilin all the time. What changes is how much water it ends up dissolved in. Drink enough water and it’s diluted into pale straw. Run low and that same pigment concentrates into dark amber.
the price for seeing the world as it truly is, is that you can never again participate in its comforting illusions
this solitude is not a choice, it is a consequence of no longer being blind
The older I get, the more i realize i don't want to be around drama. I just want a cozy home, good food, and to be surrounded by happy people.
...a reason, a season, a blessing, or a lesson... never a loss...
your mindset is one of your greatest assets
The era of sweeping sh*+ under the rug is over
Folks need to be uncomfortable
A man who reads old books cannot be fully captured by modern stupidity.
He has dead kings, prophets, poets, killers, saints, drunks, generals, and madmen whispering in his bloodstream.
The algorithm has no chance against this
You will inspire some and trigger others.
Both are necessary.

You go ahead and have that third coffee of the day. There's people out there doing crack.
