I'm just a toddler with access to a keyboard.

Some things I've learned:

• You're not in control of 99.9% of things. But you're fully in control of yourself, and how you respond to the things you're not in control of … which is most everything.

• Everything is balance, and the oscillation to achieve it. All imbalances will be reversed in time, including those in your advantage.

• There is only here and now. Allowing your attention to be captivated by things that already happened, things that haven't happened yet, things happening far away, or things bigger than you can control only serves to steal what power you do have.

• People just want to be seen. Or put another way, they don't want to be invisible. This accounts for the vast majority of human initiative, action, conflict … and money made.
