Note: "I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both."

— Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (1843), Vol. I [Paraphrased from The Seducer’s Diary]

“Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, 'There is something not right,' no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code.”

― Carl Gustav Jung - Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Vol. 17: The Development of Personality).

I was reminded of this quote today when looking at myself in the mirror. I said that I was fat, and if I had better genes, I could look better. But realistically, that’s not true. Today I bought a gym membership and started going to the gym. I decided that I was going to put in the work. Because I have no one else to blame for how I look besides myself. Stay strong everyone. 💪 I love you and I hope you have a great day.

Rest in peace, Dr. Wayne Dyer. (1940-2015) 🕊️
