Thinking is hard work, which is why you don't see many people doing it.
Train yourself to listen to that small voice that tells us what's important and what's not.

You can’t save others from themselves because those who make a perpetual muddle of their lives don’t appreciate your interfering with the drama they’ve created. They want your poor-sweet-baby sympathy, but they don’t want to change.
Pretending to be 'normal' is a lot harder than you think.

As soon as that little "ba-da-da-dink-dink" at the beginning of "Under the Sea" starts I think to myself: "Here we go! Let's do it!"

Anybody that's in my weight class, above me or beneath me, I keep an eye on.
