Why is life at this point in the twentieth century so focused upon the very beginning of life and the very end of life? What about the 80 years we have to live between those two inexorable bookends?

When you're talking to a person, it only matters what they are perceiving. You only need them to perceive you as a loving husband. You don't necessarily need to be one. That's always a good road, if you actually are one. But what people are perceiving will dictate what their life is, and ultimately what your interaction is.

I know who I am, I know what I believe, that's all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.

Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions

Make a choice of what you want, who you want to be and how you're going to do it. The universe will get out of your way.

I have a great time with my life, and I wanna share it.

It's quite highly possible that I have peaked. I mean, I just can't imagine what else I could do beyond this. It's really a bittersweet kind of feeling.
