Does a life reset sound pretty good right about now? Has your fear of missing out taken over? Before you go all in on a reset, consider this: Are you who you think you are?
CHEKHOV’S UNLOADED GUN ON THE WALL
May 26, 2022 by
After gun safety class, there’s no such thing as an unloaded gun until you check it out yourself. Check the bolt, the magazine, the barrel, and check it while it’s pointed away from anyone. And away from yourself. Chekhov’s unloaded gun is a different deal.
