One man’s ‘enough’ is too much for the next man.
Living well will help you sleep well.
Every choice you make cuts off other possibilities.
Subtraction is greater than addition.
Psychological flexibility stretches one’s capacity for happiness.
Each day is an opportunity to begin again.
Every solution is found within the problem.
The only thing you're “supposed” to do is discover whatever works for you—and dive in!
