I don’t like admitting this but sometimes I worry that I haven’t downloaded the right apps to make it in this life.

My attempted contribution to emotional intelligence (paraphrasing Aristotle).

Anybody can pout – that is easy, but to pout with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not so easy.

If you are moving so fast and taking on so much that when you “relax” you don’t really relax but merely reflect briefly on moments in your life a long time ago when you were able to relax, your life hasn’t gotten too busy. 

It’s gotten insane. 

And the answer isn’t to move faster but stopping to discover what it is you are running from.
