Memorable Quotes
============
"If your nervous system is always set up for chaos rather than peace, it will seek out chaos. So peace feels strange—like there’s nothing to worry about, and that’s uncomfortable. You end up seeking drama or stress because that’s what feels normal."

"True masculinity is like having a safety blanket with a sword. You have the sword and can wield it when necessary, but most of the time, you are the safety blanket for everyone around you—decisive and direct, but rooted in love and integrity."

"The amount of growth you’ll get is measured by how much truth you can hear about yourself and not run away. A lot of this work is about burning away the things that aren’t serving me, so I can step into what does."
