Quotes to ponder:
"Even if they have the best of intentions, my wall immediately goes up. I’m deaf to whatever is said next."
"When 'suppose to' is used in this context it is an implied obligation. It’s duty-bound. It’s a command. It’s an expectation. It eliminates choice. It’s a dead end."
"Lifestyle design is all about aligning your purpose with your internal motivation."
