An interesting concept that I first heard on the Radio a few months ago. My coworkers were talking about a couple of such places here in Austin, TX.
My curiosity is up and am going to try to find a couple of these places and try to check them out.

You cannot try to be smarter than you are or more cool or . . . . .
Just like you cannot be any less of those above. You are who & what you are. Actually, you are the sum of "who" and "what" you are. "You" are not any one "thing". There isn't any one adjective that does or could possibly define "you". So don't try to be anything but who you are.
But when you do see yourself trying to be something you are not already - ask yourself why you are doing it? Is it because you actually

Happy, Sad, Mad, Angry & Everything in Between
On my morning drive I happened to catch just a few minutes of the Dudley and Bob Morning Show. They were talking about individuals needing "psychiatric help". The issues the were talking about (at least the ones that caught my attention) were:
- Dealing with the possibility of needing such help
- The taboo against
It was really interesting to hear such a topic even though listening to them felt a little distracting. Not to mention the fact that I had to quit (since I was already running a little late for a meeting).

Inspiration
Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration. That can come from someone else or from within.
Where it comes from is not important. What is, important, that you recognize that you are being asked to go forth. Once you do, maybe others will follow. Maybe no one will. But that small journey that you take will be it's own reward. And who knows, that small journey might lead to bigger adventures.

TiVo Your Dream
Awesome idea - but how comfortable would we be to share our dreams with somone else? Some of our dreams "we" ourselves might not be so comfortable learning about.
Years and years of civilization has tought us, if nothing else, to "control" how we behave. Some would argue that it even goes so far as to tell is how to think, believe and react.

Paraprosdokian
EXPLANATION: A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to re frame or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax.
P.S. I got this from a friend of mine (Ali Erteza Khan) and just had to archive it for the future.

- I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted pay checks.
- A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it.
- Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "In an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR".
- I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
- Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

- I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
- I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila.
