The experiencing self lives in the moment; it is the one that answers the question, ‘Does it hurt?’ or ‘What were you thinking about just now?’ The remembering self is the one that answers questions about the overall evaluation of episodes or periods of one’s life, such as a stay in the hospital or the years since one left college. Daniel Kahneman

That’s what governors do, they wrestle with the issues, they find solutions and they move the agenda forward.

Jon Huntsman, Jr.

Jordan Peterson

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
