Kindle Notes & Highlights
the only way I could save each of those people from that hell was to survive in the first instance, and then power through recovery, dragging them with me as I did so. So no, I have never considered this incident mine alone; it was something visited upon the innocent people around me,
Everyone close to me was injured as much as I was in different ways, and we would all have to do a whole bunch of healing. We all spend so much of our lives trying not to feel something, trying not to feel anything, just to get through; that couldn’t happen here. We had to feel together, and recover together.

Information is what squelches fear. We are only afraid of the unknown. Ignorance, or lack of experience, is simply a lack of data. Not all information takes away fear, but any amount of it can dampen the insecurities and the killing unknowns of fear.
When you really know what you’re focused on, you can manifest what you truly want in your life. The trick is to get out of our own damn way.
In everything, we can always control our perspective. We’re all the authors of our own narrative. How we feel about things is down to us and how we perceive things—it’s our responsibility to control our perspective.
