OLS Reflections 69

• Life is too short to live it according to someone else’s idea, opinion, or mode of thinking.

• The true golden gems of life are those who are kinder to us than we are to ourselves. Whenever found, keep them close.

• If you turned up alright as an adult in general or as a parent in particular, remember that your parents didn’t really know what they were doing, either. They just learned along the way. Now look at you.

• One cannot serve humanity as long as their cup is empty. Fill it with whatever virtues, and vices, you may see fit, then you can go to work. Go out and do, learn from the doing, then share your findings as you teach from the knowing. Nothing, you see, gives a man more credibility than saying “I have been there”. For experience can never be studied or bought and that is why it’s the mother of all wisdom.


• The only reality in which you will truly fit is one that you have created yourself.

• If you ever had a chance to have sex with someone, or even just kiss, then happen to repeat it 20-25 years later, you will be hit right in the feels by such a tantalising experience. It actually feels like coming home or like returning to a planet you once lived in. Pure bliss. Obviously that ‘someone’ is not your spouse. 

• When seeking to live by our own inner truth and lead an authentic existence, some people’s lines must be crossed. It means we stood up for something — a core moral value or a cause — or someone. If everyone likes us, there is most likely a certain degree of inauthenticity and people-pleasing floating around and it would be a good time to pause and reflect. A reason why people-pleasures make terrible “writers”.

• What many women essentially want is someone who can listen to what they aren’t saying — that which lies beyond words… and egos.

• Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like a mofo. 

• Whenever someone tells you about something that saddens them while still smiling and/or keeping their sense of humour, be certain they have died inside many times over. (79)
