This was a good fast read. Very interesting. Use only six words to sum up your life. See what some authors came up with.

Pages: Not sure how many I actually read, I will guess 100, just quit reading it as it wasn’t keeping me interested enough to keep going on to each new story

Quotes:
“You are not on the planet to fulfill other people’s agendas for you. You are here to fulfill yourself, and no one but you can know what that could look and feel like.”

“There is a psychological law – invented by Freud himself _ taht everything that is denied, ignored, or suppressed eventually comes back. The skeletons in the closet do not simply dissolve and become invisible. They gather dust and eventually someone finds them.”

“It can be scary to define what you really want – you might get it, or you might have to put yourself on the line and take a risk that it might not work out _ or it could work out and you would have to make some changes. It feels like the easiest thing to stay just exactly as you are and not change anything. Except that it’s easy in the short term, and very hard in the long term, to feel frustrated that you have not achieved something that you were capable of, that you didn’t realize what opportunities you had until they went away again, that you never appreciated what you had until you lost it.”
