“That's what life is. One problem after another. You can't control any of it. All you can do is reach out for something good whenever you can. And hold on no matter what.”

“No matter what happens in your life always try your best to stay in the moment. You can never control another persons emotions but you can always control yours.”

“Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.”

“Then what's the point of trying if you can't even win?""You win in lots of different ways," Asher said. "Lots of little wins. The point of this life is not to be good all the time. It's to be as good as you can. No one is perfect. No one does it right all the time. That's not what life is.”

“Do what you can as you can. Trouble, problems, will come no matter what you do , and you must respond as they come.”

“I can't control what you see or how you interpret what you see any more than I can control what you think of me.”
