If suddenly and without warning, you had absolutely nothing to worry about, do you know what the world would begin to look like?
Un-huh, exactly the same as it does right now.
Alright, if suddenly you had absolutely nothing to be afraid of, do you know what you’d begin to look like right now?
Yeah, cool as ever.
OK, OK. If suddenly you had absolutely no expectations to live up to and no one to disappoint, do you know how free you’d suddenly be?
Yeah, same, same.
Get it? The only thing that would really change is your thoughts. And you don’t need circumstances or other people to help you with that, do you?
