I Believe… [Doing Unto Others]

...that if you buy the premise, you buy the story.

...that if you have high expectactions for yourself and demonstrate it in action, you set high expectations for those who see you in the world.

...that recognizing your temptations as they present themselves and mentally walking through the consequences of giving in to them is the beginning of maturity. Following that up by saying “Nah. Not this time,” is the next level.

...that treating people the way you’d want to be treated is really not that difficult.

...that an excuse, even a good and valid one, is just a fucking excuse.
