    Details create the big picture. SANFORD I. WEILL The more myopically, we inspect anything, the more it obfuscates the big picture.  How do you interpret all of the details?  By drilling down on anything in life…be it physical, emotional, conceptual, or other, we are able to study the myriad of…

    Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasure to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    I hope you choose to surround yourself with people who want what’s best for you. These people will challenge your perspective in a healthy, loving way, intentionally expanding emotional limitations to elevate your thinking, stimulating inner motivation.

    I think there’s a point in your healing journey where you stop trying to convince other people to do the right thing. You just observe their choices, understand their character, and decide what you’re going to allow in your life.

I believe it is truly possible to change the world, one thought at a time. If anything I have written connects with you, please share it with others. My goal in creating this is to help others with ideas that are thought-provoking, stimulating and cathartic.
