Lately I made a resolution "If I can't think and conclude about something quickly, its not worth thinking" Actually it may be worth thinking but my mind is not interested so I prefer to defer it for that moment.

My identity crisis came when I was 25 and that is when I began to make many changes so that I could discover and be my authentic self. That was about 12 years ago and it was the wisest decision I ever made. Life is short and there is no reason to pretend to be someone else. By the way, I love the quotes you used. :) Hi Kent,
