“Challenges in life can either enrich you or poison you. You are the one who decides.”

“One of the most healing things you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison.”

“One of life's challenging realizations is that sometimes you outgrow your friends.”

“We must remember balance and moderation. Patience can be spiritually enriching and virtuous… but when taken in excess, it turns to procrastination, the poison of inaction.”

“Ideas and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.”

“If you intend to change, decide what you want and live your life accordingly.”

“With one kind gesture you can change a life. One person at a time you can change the world. One day at a time we can change everything.”
