Stop and Think
“I read today that mostly people speak with the intention of making themselves sound more important or invoking sympathy from the listener. I’ve been saying a lot less since I read that.” – Royce Vagg.
Better Living
Every day you should:
1. Make a decision that improves your health.
2. Compliment someone.
3. Do something to help the environment.
That way, you have a good excuse when your neighbor catches you planting trees on their nature strip at 3am.
Accountability

And it’s only a matter of time before Kalex finds them...
