We have ourselves to fear more than anyone else.

And we have ourselves to blame more than anyone else.

Are you eating the right things? Are you exercising? Are you maintaining a budget? Are you continuously educating yourself? Do you say or do things that cause others to be envious of you or to become vengeful? Do you dwell on the negative? Are you a gambler?

If you can discipline yourself in all the ways that matter, you’ll likely do well in life, even if a few people do you harm along the way.
