      That was the one I chose too and that’s because inaction resonates with me. What I find fascinating is that the quotes are basically saying the same thing but there are subtle differences in approach. It’s like there’s one door with many paths to it. We each need to get on the path that is right for us, that speaks to us in some way, in order to get to the door.
