“Maybe we live in a universe where all you have control over is your own kindness.”

“Life is like a recycling center, where all the concerns and dramas of humankind get recycled back and forth across the universe. But what you have to offer is your own sensibility, maybe your own sense of humor or insider pathos or meaning. All of us can sing the same song, and there will still be four billion different renditions.”

“all human beings have control over their own destiny. that is, after all, our purpose on this planet. not to interfere with the lives of others but to shape our own experiences.”

“The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure.”

“We all have control over what kind of person we are. Each word that comes out, each action that we take, defines us.”

“We live in a world where your mistakes are usually seen over the right things you have done.”
