“The real power isn’t in what they say—it’s in what they don’t say.” That line from Aware of Deception hit me like a truck. I realized how many times I thought someone was being “kind” by staying quiet, when really, they were controlling the situation by letting me twist myself in knots. That book changed how I see people, for real.

Some people are so weak they need to control others to feel powerful.

Spending time alone, doing what you like to do is so liberating. I actually felt lonely when I was in a toxic relationship.

Mr Green speaks the truth.....i blinked and all of a sudden, I'm 57, i regret a lot of things, but yes, i take full responsibility, but unfortunately there are things i can't do anymore....so for you younger people, do what you want to do, without hurting yourself or others.... because living with regret sucks!

I think it a misnomer to think you will know what you're hear to do in your 20's. I'm 42 and just now stepping into my purpose. Just do what feels right until you find your passion.

A positive attitude doesn’t change what happens, it changes how we experience what happens.
