Quotes by Ryan Nicodemus (?)

“Wright says, "You are the only person in the world who can complete and fulfill you, and ensure your happiness. Everyone else is a potential (hopefully) wonderful addition to that fated situation.

You are born complete, you die complete, and you decide whom you spend your time with in between.”
― Ryan Nicodemus, Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works

“Each of us is already a whole person, and the role of everything else is only to augment, enhance, or amplify our lives, not get in the way.”

“Six Questions to Ask Before Buying
1. Who am I buying this for? (Me/Image)
2. Will this add value to my life?
3. Can I afford it?
4. Is this the best use of this money?
5. What’s the actual cost? ($+)
6. Would the best version of me buy this?”
