They are reminding the brain that doing the wrong things will bring empty victories.

Trust me, you can win a race you care nothing about, and a lot of people do.

Define your terms and execute.

Choose your mountaintop and ascend.

We explore in order to refine.

So let each step be a chiseling away of what no longer serves you so that you can capture the pieces of life that light up your soul.

It may be that our greatest gift in life is that we're always one decision away from transformation.

We're always one decision away from a new path with new experiences, new beliefs, new identity.

One decision away from a totally different life.

It's almost incomprehensible that all the days leading up to now

Everything we knew ourselves to be can be discarded and left with one swing of an axe, gone.

What is more miraculous than that?

We live at the intersection of two imaginary worlds, the past and the future.

The past is gone and essentially meaningless, yet as the provider of our identity, it still rules over us.

Our sense of who we are comes from our collection of past memories.

That imaginary world of yesterday, like the elephant tied to the chair with the rope.

It hasn't realized it's strong enough to break free.

It doesn't know that what confines him is not the rope, but acceptance of a lie.

And that's what the past, that's what identity is, a lie.

We are not yesterday, we are right now.
