"You have two choices in life: Live the life you want or live the life of acceptance."

"Apathetic people sit back and wait for things to get better before they move. Radical people make things get better, by how they move."

"The only man worth having in your life is one that would never let you walk away."

"They say there is six degrees of separation between you and another person. However, when people are praying for you there are only two degrees."

"If you walk in any direction walk in the direction toward your greatest dream."

"Never let your fear of the unknown and things being too difficult make your choices for you in life. One of the saddest lessons in life is finding out that your fear made the situation worse than what it was and a braver person stole the dream you gave up on."

"I am not a human being. I am a human BEING. Just be."

"Every game is winnable if you change your mind about what the prize should be and your perspective about the players at the table."

"Never give up on someone. Sometimes the answers you are looking for are the same answers another person is looking for. Two people searching together are always better than one person alone."

"Nostalgia has a way of blocking the reality of the past."

"A thorn in your side will drive you to find someone or thing to remove it. Therefore, don't hate your enemies. Thank them. Without them, you wouldn't have traveled as far in your life to find peace and happiness."

"The only person worth risking everything for is the one person that would never let you risk everything for."
