It takes far more energy to flee from that which I fear than it does to engage that which I fear. So much for energy conservation.

Blame is the coward’s solution to his fear of accountability.

Certainly, I can choose to live in isolation. But therein lays the great rub; in doing so I have in reality chosen not to live.

If I’m perplexed by the fact that I’m constantly lost, maybe somewhere in my head I’ve determined that being lost serves a greater purpose than being found.

The dark might be dark, but at least we don’t have to look at ourselves when we’re standing in it.

Fear left unrestrained always leaves us running ‘from’ something. Fear harnessed compels us to run ‘to’ something. And fear denied leaves us running in circles.

We can certainly run from a lot of things. But when we eventually pull up exhausted and entirely out of breath, we are rather shocked to discover that we haven’t been able to create any distance between ourselves and what we’ve been running from regardless of how fast we might have been running and how far we think we might have gotten.

Safety is not a destination that we reach for, rather it is a retreat that we escape to. And if our lives are marked by the incessant search for safety, we will live the whole of it going in reverse.

Comfort is not a goal that I seek, rather it is a place that I hide.
