Before surrendering to someone know your surrender value.

You can tame the beast in the belly but not the beast in the mind.

Life carries you.
Just stay in it.

I have a knife in a jar surrounded by felt tip pens
I have sharpened it on a metal file
so much that it's point is replaced with a roundness
When it had a point it was easier to use
When it became round it was harder
It hurts more
Now I find that better
I don't cut as deep
It is the hurt that helps
