You do not have time anymore. Time has us. The master of thieves. ... If you want to see the ocean, go see it. If you want to see a live band, go to that concert. If there is a dream you want to chase, go and try to manifest it. If you want to …
I once knew a little boy that was so full of life... he was never scared... he thought the world was safe... he ate Fruity Pebbles and watched old school Looney Tunes... he actually looked forward to the humid summertime heat... he had endless energy... he avoided work at all costs... he rode bicycles on …

Why is a good decision hard to make? Tell me, please! Or is it not really that difficult and my mind is just playing tricks on me yet again? On the other hand, why does it seem like a bad decision is so easy to make? I try to think if there was ever a …
