Can't sleep, can't drink anymore whiskey... What philosophies can I offer at 4:30 in the morning? Be true to yourself. A wise friend told me that when I was fretting over going back to my wife or pushing on ahead. She said, "Dude, you've got to be true to yourself." So when a friend called me two days ago with a similar dilemma, I said the same thing. He called me back the next day, thanked me and told me it was the words "be true to yourself" that made his decision clear.
