“We truly have no idea what goes on in people's lives. Any comparison we make to them is based on our perception of who they are and often our perception is way off base.”

“It seems like people--especially women--don't like it when you rock the boat. If you're going around with a giddy smile on your face, they're going to be jealous. If you're talking about some wonderful thing you're doing, they may not want to hear it. That's okay. Own your joy anyway!”

“Focusing on what you've done is not as important in this learning process as focusing on who you have become”

“We can select our own good works. Life is a smorgasbord of good choices. You will not be penalized for picking ham over chicken or cake instea of pie.”
