I marvel at the
trauma stored between my bones.
How can I let go?

MIND: Audacious
If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it.
Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution.
Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness.
Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.
Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.
The 48 Laws of Power // Robert Greene
MIND: Sifting
You have been offered “the gift of crisis.” As Kathleen Norris reminds us, the Greek root of the word crisis is “to sift,” as in, to shake out the excesses and leave only what’s important. That’s what crises do. They shake things up until we are forced to hold on to only what matters most. The rest falls away.
Carry On, Warrior // Glennon Melton
MIND: Upgrade
Whether it’s our routines or our relationships, it’s our responsibility to actively and continuously make them the way we want them to be.
The Miracle Morning // Hal Elrod
SOL: Narrative
“No one will ever
love you like I do.” I said,
“Is that a promise?”
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 199.”
MIND: Écrivain
That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect.
You can’t control life, at least you can control your version.
Stranger Than Fiction // Chuck Palahniuk
SOL: Encumbered
All the baggage I
carry. All the ways I wish
I could put it down.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 197.”
SOL: Tidal
On nights like this I
sit and let the sadness flow
through me like a wave.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 196.”
SOL: Guarded
I was saving all
my best things for better days –
all I have is now.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 192.”
MIND: Equitable
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
