Follow
In life, you will come across people, who are a leading exactly the life you dream to lead. Follow those people and follow your instincts. Sometimes you will see an older person living exactly the kind of life you dream to live in your older life. Life gives you signals. Follow those signals

Grand Theft Cartier
The eye sees what is sees.
While words can blunt the truth, the eye cannot lie.
You see what you see.
While the western world casts Cartier as the hero
He was so lazy in his theft, he didn't do much and sold as is.
Curator uses words like "inspire", migrate",
"That allowed many paintings and manuscripts to leave the country— pieces from the royal collection of very, very high quality, which people had never seen before," says Henon-Raynaud.

Free - the architecture of me
Spend more time outdoors. Spend more time in the forest. Spend more time in the woods. Spend time near the water. Spend time near a lake. Spend time kayaking. Sit outside more often. Lay down on the grass. Listen to music up close. Be near fire. Grill by the fire. Get warmed by the fire. Live small. Simple living high thinking. On a journey. On an expedition. On an adventure. Observe and record what you see. Take pictures. Make sketches. Travel by train. Travel to the far corners of the world. Experience local. See the architecture of man. Travel to ancient places and monuments. Travel to museums. Grow plants. Grow vegetables. Grow herbs. Use what you grow to feed yourself. Walk in the park. Travel to Parks. Teach. Inspire the younger generation. Share what you know. Walk long distances. Swim. Eat simple and healthy and well.
I see you Skye
I see you took the broom and dustpan from behind the fridge and cleaned up the floor and the particles underneath the table.
I see you observed the floor was sticky and wanted to mop the floor if the mop was available.
I see you delight in food and relish in great sources of information.
I see you harbor a curiosity for learning.
I see you immediately found recipes to work with after the NY Times subscription
I see you picked three recipes and you KILLED all three.
I see you make a few minutes of time to lift weights and exercise..
I see you take care of your health and nourish your skin.
I see your efforts with your counselor and your physics teacher to maintain your grade point. I see you unaffected by your counselor even though the counselor said it was Ok and to not be affected. I see you persisted and got to a better place in Physics: All A's don't just happen. They are a mark of persistence, diligence and excellence. Ostinato Rigore, as DaVinci says.
I see your desire to practice with your voice teacher in person - All great things happen in person.
I see your virtual practice with your teacher and listened to your voice from afar. It sounds like heaven.
I see you refuse to take two rolls of expensive film, but one roll instead.
I see you immediately Venmoed the money you owed me. Such a great attitude to give back something you owe: immediately and with gusto!
I see that when you found your card that you did not have during the fair, you promptly responded that you found it.
I see you are enriched by history and deeply affected by it.
I see you educated me about Simone de Beauvoir and Emmanuel Kant and the words "The ends don't justify the means".
I see you educated me about Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and the work that changed the course of our country.
I see when you were buying things for you, you were buying things for others.
I see you delight in supporting the community of artists.

On leading a life
Be the own boss of your life.
Drive your own car.
Set clear conditions for how others should treat you based on how you treat others.
Hold everyone accountable - if they don't treat you like the way you need to be treated.
Guard the peace of your life.
Set the direction of your life.
Chart the course of your life.
Don't let someone take over your life.
Don't allow anyone to hold the gates of your peace. Not even slightly.
Don't be hostage to anyone or anything that poisons your peace.
Be very aware of any and everything that creates ripples or infiltrates or upsets the sanctuary of who you are -
You go where you want to go. Decided by you.
You do what you want to do. Decided by you.
You be. As you are. Willed by you.
Nobody is in you - telling you what to do or how to be.
You are you
There is no one inside you or hiding somewhere that is altering something or not allowing to be pure you.
You are owned by you. Governed by you. Controlled by you. You set the conditions and actions and directions and course of living.
Every time you do something. Check:
Is there someone else in this picture of what you are doing?
Or are you not doing something because of someone else?
Be aware of this.
You are the leader of your life.
Every minute you decide for yourself what you want to do.
Be the leader of your life, every step of the way.
Nobody
Nobody can kill your joy!
Nobody can rob you of your joy!
The people who try to do that are intentionally evil

Dangerous
This person seeks the opposite of what I want.
Seeking to destroy everything about me.
Seeking to falsely accuse me of crime
Always seeking a position of control
Willing to go to any length
Wiling to manipulate
Deliberately disrespectful and abusive
Seeking to spread lies about me
Seeking to make false accusations.
Seeking to annul me make me irrelevant to my kids.
For my kids, only their mothers feelings matter, not their fathers.
I have to fight to state my position of truth constantly - as easy it is for them to deny it and demoralize me
I have to constantly stand guard to protect me and stand my ground.

Everything
There is a playbook for everything.
Seek it
(Someone has been in your place. They have some things to share that can be helpful)

Behind closed doors
The quality of the life of a relationship behind closed doors is abysmally devastating…
On the outside a relationship is fine and dandy but from the inside you never know what's happening. You never know what's happening behind closed doors….
