Thoughts From Karen

Dreaming about the future will help you get there. Worrying about it will, too. It will be the future of your dreams, or the future you were afraid of, depending on which one you choose to see

Adulthood is when you take out a loan or eat takeout alone

Irony is when someone doesn't know what "ignorance" means

One cannot quantize the worth of a soul

Accepting who you are and letting it control you are not the same thing

Even if a bad decision has a good outcome, it still doesn't mean that it was a good decision

You can try to keep your life as peaceful and perfect as possible, but without conflict, there would be no stories to tell

It will be much easier to perform our part in this world if we stop seeing those around us as an audience and start thinking of them as fellow actors.

Your words are the stocks in which you invest, so choose those that will yield high dividends.

Don't try to be fearless; try to be fear-overcoming

The most ironic thing about self-improvement is how often it is incited by other people

If a rubber band is held under constant tension, it will wear down, snap, or lose its flexibility. Don't let the same thing happen to your mind

Bravely look forward, especially when looking forward with fear

Make your past self excited for the future

Procrastination is a ramification of short term thinking

Though it seems counterintuitive, restlessness is horribly debilitating

The phrase, "I'll never let you get away with that" is most threatening when said by your conscience
