Day 78
Actions speak a louder truth than the truth you speak with your voice. Show me what is important to you by what you do, not what you say. Show me who you really are, don’t tell me.

Day 71
Casual hobbies are a must for relaxing your brain. Even those past times that seem violent on the surface will relax the participants. Archery, target shooting, football, boxing, gaming or competition knitting. Find your way to relax. Don’t worry about the naysayers. They can find their own zen.

One adulting skill that does not come naturally is adaptability. You must learn to move and adjust your sails on the raging ocean that is this life.
