Hello,

This week's edition will discuss knowing your limits, how Black lives truly matter, and why we aim for the stars.

Here’s Why You Should Map Out Your Heaven and Hell.

It's great to run towards something you'd like. But it's even better to run away from something that terrifies you.

Think about this real carefully: take all your faults and your inadequacies, and your hatred for life, all of that. And then imagine that gets the upper hand. Think about where you could be in three to five years.

Some people know they'd be a street person. Some people know they'd be an alcoholic. Some people know they'd be a prostitute or drug addict.

Everybody's got their own little hell they could descend into with a fair degree of rapidity and enjoyment. And people know that. Well, delineate that out. So you know where you're heading when you fall off the path. Then you're running away from something and running towards something.

That's heaven and hell, and they're real. They're as real as you make them.
