We must be able to look under the surface rather than over-analyze it and delude ourselves into thinking we’re seeing beneath it. - Brianna Wiest

When you regulate your daily actions, you deactivate your “fight or flight” instincts because you’re no longer confronting the unknown.

If we have treated others unfairly, we must be able to admit, apologize, and correct that behavior.

This is what’s going on when people push others away or give up on their big dreams the moment something challenging comes up. When we are so scared that we are going to lose something, we tend to push it away from ourselves first as a means of self-preservation.
