> Meet people more than halfway: aka SHOW UP

I really appreciate this about you. I catch myself overcomplicating reaching out to friends and am always stoked when I get that text to catch up.

> few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them.

Hi, perfectionist here, I couldn't possibly get a tattoo unless it's the perfect tattoo with the perfect meaning. While I understand and agree with some of what James is getting at, I wonder how many people need to hear the opposite. Really stewing in big decisions often keeps me in inaction. I care too much what future Brad or other people will think about that tattoo, I ask too many "what ifs" and discount my ability to make the most of a situation and carry on. There are very few (if any) "mistakes" in my life I truly regret. They are all lessons and I appreciate who I've become through these experiences.
