01UndatedEvery man walks his own path, and every path has its fair share of locked doors. You never know who holds the key to a door you’ll need to open one day, so you best treat people as if they are all keyholders.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
02UndatedThe most fulfilling adventures happen when you start your journey without knowing where you’re going, because only then are you free to experience the unexpected detours you’re meant to take.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
03UndatedIf you think you know what your purpose is, but can never seem to gain satisfaction from it, then it’s probably not the purpose you’re destined for.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
04UndatedJust because someone is a keyholder, does not mean they will always help you unlock the door you want to go through – no matter how much you think you deserve to go through it. Sometimes you just have to reach out and take it.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
05UndatedIf you refuse to accept what is, and choose to see what could be, then you set a course for yourself that makes others take notice of you, respect you, revere you. It is then that they become objects of your destiny instead of you playing a support role in theirs.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
06UndatedWhen all seems hopeless and all has gone silent, that’s Destiny turning down the music so that all may hear our response to life’s great storms, giving our response the chance to echo throughout eternity with the level of greatness it deserves.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
07UndatedWe are not slaves of the past, nor servants of the present, but masters of the future.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗

10UndatedAnything you don’t want to deal with can always be written off as being “in the past” and ignored, but in doing so, you sweep it under a rug where it doesn't go away with time – it becomes time itself, and takes on the illusion of life as we think we know it.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
11UndatedThe ignorance of the world often makes people believe that life should be black and white – that you must choose sides – and so the world of colourful gradients goes unadmired.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
12UndatedWhat you withhold in this life will be withheld from you in the next.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
13UndatedSome only follow the holy man while others only follow the warlord. But the truth is, both sides are within all of us, and if people could only see that, they wouldn't have to wear masks, or pretend to be holy like a holy man, or pretend that nothing can hurt them like a warlord. They could just be themselves, unjudged.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
14UndatedNo matter what, don't live a life where you're too scared to die for what you believe in. Always go at it with everything you've got, even if it doesn't seem to be enough.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
15UndatedWe are united by something greater and more valuable than our beliefs alone: the freedom to have those beliefs, and believe what we want without persecution - we must protect that at all costs.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
16UndatedThe weakest link in any chain of security is not the technology itself, but the person operating it; iron gates have no compassion to appeal to, nor fears to exploit, nor insecurities to use to one’s advantage. They are, however, operated by us – by beings of unlimited vulnerability and limited energy. Why waste time brute-forcing what can be easily circumvented by a clever façade and a crimson tongue?A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
17UndatedWords give inspiration, nothing more. You want redemption? The very thing you seek inspiration for? Fight for it like your life depended on it, because it always does.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
18UndatedIt is the crimson tongue that paints the world others think they see.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
19UndatedSometimes the best way to learn a lesson isn't just hearing the words, but putting it into practice by experimenting with it and finding its truth for yourself instead of taking someone else’s word for it.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
20UndatedWe all need to humble ourselves from time to time and expose ourselves to new perspectives and ideas, even those of the non-experts, or else our growth potential gets weighed down with the ignorance of ego and habit.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
21UndatedWhen you give meaning to even the most meaningless of things around you, you will always stand to be taught something new, have what you already know reinforced, or be reminded of what you've forgotten.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
22UndatedSometimes it feels like you have nothing, or aren't going anywhere, but while you’re waiting for fortune to deliver you, there is always something you can do to help yourself, or teach yourself to better your situation.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
23UndatedPresenting a humble façade gains trust; flattery appeals to ego; combine the two to gain an ego-based trust within someone, and you will find in your hands a judgement clouding tool second only to love.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
24UndatedTrust is always a risk, but when placed in the right people after a trial period where they prove themselves worthy of it, it is a reward transcendent of all the emotional mire that bogs down a person’s potential.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
