What’s our unspoken obligation every single day?
Be a good and decent person.
There is a quiet movement underway. It’s called authenticity.
We cherish it in others.
We long for it ourselves.
Please don’t die without addressing wherever you want to be in terms of authenticity.
Aren’t we all aiming for zero regrets?

What is it about a particular attitude attribute that stiffens our spine?
Our minds can think of a great diversity of answers, yet there’s one answer, upon hearing it, we all nod, smile, and say, totally.
It’s when someone we know does what they say they’re gonna do, especially the big things that take years (maybe decades) to do and their progress is so slow and unremarkable, we never notice.
We never notice that is, until the day comes when they are done.
Then’s it’s, holy crap, she climbed that mountain.

Be brutally honest with this person at all costs?
First and foremost, ourselves.
Yes, at all costs.
Take no prisoners.
Be careful with everyone else though.
It can have the reverse effect.
Pain. Intimidation. Self-righteousness. Narcissist. Zealot.
Let the fear of being condemned and labeled be the cross you bear.
Eventually, you’ll come to realize what they think is pointless.

There are amazingly inspiring people throughout history, but something is missing, even in a wonderfully captivating quote like this:
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. –Amelia Earhart
What’s missing?
Action.
Quotes from famous people are like a shot of whiskey.
Something gutsy and raw in the consuming.
The wonderful afterglow is pretty amazing.
The letdown from not being able to maintain and sustain that wonderful feeling is why we keep consuming quotes, yet few of us ever launch our lives in the direction of our wildest dreams.
Things begin to change when we begin to change.
Common sense, but not common. (quotable?)
