Seventy Eight

1. Fear is psychological; as are all emotions.
2. Never become dependent upon any single thing that exists without a soul (food aside).
3. You are only rich in proportion to the things you can afford to be without.
4. Nothing in life is absolute.
5. All freedom comes at a cost.
6. Time is just as unforgiving as it is impatient.
7. Possibilities are endless, chances are not and neither are outcomes. Never underestimate the power of choice.
8. Societal standards are not nearly as important as personal values.
9. One needs not to speak a lie to be dishonest.
10. Everybody has a story.

... Took me just over 20 years to learn each of these things by experience.
