square after square

Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy.
Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder.
Uncomfortable conversations are hard, but avoiding every conflict is harder.
Mastering your craft is hard, but having no skills is harder.

Easy has a cost.

Not everyone realizes this, but you if clean the pile of receipts out of a purse and stack them together, it makes a teeny tiny book about why you’re broke.

Pay attention to your gut feelings. No matter how good something looks, if it doesn’t feel right, walk away.
