More From Miranda July

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, and deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, i'm at home and at ease on a track that i know not, and restless and lost on a road that i know.

Although goal setting can clearly be overdone, only a few people are overly involved with goals and goal setting; most people do far too little goal setting, including the reflecting that precedes the setting of such goals. too many marriages have financial goals but not other explicit goals. yet the gospel is certainly goal-oriented.

People will make worse financial decisions for them if they're choosing from a lot of options than if they're choosing from a few options. if they have more options they're more likely to avoid stocks and put all their money in money market accounts, which doesn't even grow at the rate of inflation.

Christ is like a river in another respect. a river is continually flowing, there are fresh supplies of water coming from the fountain-head continually, so that a man may live by it, and be supplied with water all his life. so christ is an ever-flowing fountain; he is continually supplying his people, and the fountain is not spent. they who live upon christ, may have fresh supplies from him to all eternity; they may have an increase of blessedness that is new, and new still, and which never will come to an end.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

In my divorce, i stood up and said to my ex-wife, 'hey, i messed up. this had nothing to do with you. i didn't understand what marriage was. i cheated. i was wrong. we couldn't fix it; it got worse. i stepped away because i didn't want it to get any worse. you're the mother of my kids - i don't want to hate you.'
