...that life has no rewind button but it has a pause button if you’re paying attention.

...that the question “What do I want my life to look like in my sixth decade?” is more important than the search for money, notoriety, or achievement. Deprioritize income and focus on outcome.

...that few things can improve a mood more effectively than a perfectly curated playlist.

...that curiosity is a muscle, and most people let it atrophy the moment they become convinced they're right.

...that the cruel joke is that prisons and cliffs share the same architecture: an edge you’re afraid to cross. The only way to learn which one you’re standing on is to step forward and trust gravity to reveal the truth.

…that when a rolling stone finds something worth calling home, it should linger there awhile before gravity gives way to momentum again.
