When I was 33, I read Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World and realized that I didn't have to (or even could) solve anyone's problems but my own. I had read the same book a decade earlier, but wasn't ready to accept that truth.

When you're young, you worry about what people think of you.
When you're middle-aged, you don't care what people think of you.
When you're old, you realize nobody was ever thinking of you.
