  1. You judge yourself by your intentions, you judge others by their actions.
  2. Want to know what you like most about yourself? Think about what you emphasize on a first date.
  3. Toxic people don’t exist in a vacuum. Sometimes it’s not that person A is toxic in general, but rather that the combination of person A and person B is toxic to each other.
  4. Without failure, there is no catalyst for growth.
  5. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
  6. “The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise.” — Henry David Thoreau
  7. People that make you feel bad for being excited about something are extremely lame.
  8. Being “cool” means absolutely nothing.
  9. “Just be a good person” isn’t great advice because in order to follow it you have to be able to check yourself. During his trial, Ted Bundy said he was a good guy. He truly believed that.
  10. If he says he’s a “nice guy” run far away and quickly.
  11. It’s dangerous to open yourself up to people when you have no sense of self-worth.
  12. Life is about the little things.
