Adultery is more like trying to get your summer tan in a single sunscreenless day at the beach.
Happiness
Jesus is the Better Bitcoin
Questions of value lead us to constantly look for something bigger, better and more lasting.
Might Will Not Make Right
The violent man is like a dragon sleeping on his horde of treasure—never able to use it, and never happy about it.
Wisdom Will Laugh at Your Expense
We do not naturally possess wisdom. Left to your own devices, you are not in good hands. There is something inside us that is actually disinclined to wisdom.
What’s the Point of Waiting?
There is a decaying, deadening shallowness that seeps in during all this waiting. There is always something else coming. From year to year and hour to hour there is some new horizon promising that when you get to the top of that hill, then you’ll be happy.
You are not a brand
If we’re honest, most of us are tormented by the fear that, “If I don’t publicize who I am, no one will know, and I’ll never become what I could have been.”
The mercy of discipline
An authority figure who enforces discipline helps people connect the dots between bad choices and negative consequences.
A steal of a deal
The pre-purchase haggle, the clutching FOMO – they’re just buyer’s remorse working its way backward.
How to avoid being heart sick
Bud Light’s motto used to be that “it won’t fill you up and will never let you down.” That’s essentially what we want from our desires.
Substance over semblance
Real life isn’t glitzy and glamorous. Real life doesn’t come with a filter. Real life is cleaning up dishes and returning that shirt that looked better online.
When it comes to wisdom, be selfish
When you get wisdom, you benefit yourself first, and then the effects trickle out from there.
What’s better than being rich?
The accumulation of riches without wisdom would be like building out a hardware superstore in your backyard, while being unclear how to use a hammer.
