Never underestimate how much being in H.A.L.T. (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) can mess you up. If I'm in just one of them I'm off my game. Two and I am prone to make poorer decisions. In any three and I should keep my damn mouth shut. All four? If I'm in all four then it's not an acronym it's an instruction.
The less I keep score, the happier I am.
A character asset with the volume turned up too high has probably morphed into a character defect.
Prestige is not self esteem.
Humility is not about being less, it's about being right-sized.
What I think the problem is often is not what the problem actually is. That's okay, though, since the solution is spiritual anyway, whether to the problem I think I have or to the problem that it actually is.
Dancing around your living room to old Motown will always make you feel better.
I hope your weekend is better than you can imagine!!

Amen - especially the part about dancing around the living room to old Motown.

I love the H.A.L.T. advice. I usually either forget to sleep or forget to eat, so my friends have gotten pretty good at calling me on it at the first sign of trouble. Sleep seems to be an especially key issue for me, since staying up a couple of nights is enough to bounce me into a manic episode.
Keep up the good work!
