Rule 86: Crippling Self Doubt… I know I wanna leave you, but you refuse to let me go…

Rule 86: Crippling Self Doubt… I know I wanna leave you, but you refuse to let me go…

by Austin Alexander | Mar 26, 2016 | Ego, Fear, humanity, Life, Vice

Crippling self doubt has not just plagued me, I have repeatedly indulged in it. It is a place of self-deprecatory comfort. I take solace in believing that I’ll fail. Why? Because it’s easier to believe I won’t succeed, and follow through with...
Rule 85: Fresh popped buttery popcorn… I could literally eat it until I’m sick.

Rule 85: Fresh popped buttery popcorn… I could literally eat it until I’m sick.

Sometimes you just have to remind yourself to be right here, right now, in the moment. You gotta grab onto the now, right now. But, not hold so tight like it’s a vise grip—just make sure you’ve got a nice grip. I’ve never been superbly awesome...
