Thanks @Roots for the reminder. It looks like my past "self" is better at giving me instructions than my future self.

I needed the reminder that "Nobody else is the cause of your problems". :)

Haha yeah those are good words to live by. Another one of my favorites is "Life: Don't take it personally"

And thanks to you and everyone who contributes on this forum. It is an amazing resource.

Cheers
