Quotes to ponder:
"Sit there, and look inside yourself. Just because an urge arises to run doesn’t mean you have to follow it."
"Think about who you’re helping. While Resistance is scary, it’s often not nearly as bad as the pain that someone else is facing."
"Just get started. Usually all I need to do is get the ball rolling."
