“It's always tempting to give in to chaos. It's tempting to just give up. But experience teaches us that it's not better. Stand up straight and face life as if you mean it. That's a better alternative. Treat yourself as if you deserve your best efforts. Tell the truth, especially to yourself, and set your own house in order. When you approach life in this way, doors of opportunity will open. You will be less of a burden to yourself and to those who love and care for you. Choose your own set of rules and stick to them until you find ones that make more sense in light of the truth. This is the only true antidote for chaos.”
