“Life does not favor the fearful nor does it reward the reluctant; it embraces and elevates those willing to climb in spite of their fear and willing to try in the mocking face of failure. It gives bonus points to those who fall flat, get up and climb again.”

“Those who resist positive change will find themselves deformed, but those who embrace it will find themselves transformed.”

“Happiness isn’t the reward we retrieve after a long struggle. It arrives daily, in those clear moments when our hearts are tender, pricked by the embrace of a loved one, the beauty of a single flower, the majesty of the world in which we are central. Look over your shoulder at how far you’ve come and all the good things you’ve experienced and that is when you will see the smiling face of happiness.”

“How we feel is not who we are. We might feel like failures, but as long as we are still trying, we are not failures. We are works in progress.”

“Want to heat up your love life? Do something you don't enjoy doing, but your partner does. And do it with no thought of return...only out of love.”

“I lived in fear for decades. I learned that you can’t wait around for it to go away before you make your move, only when you make your move will the fear leave.”

“Success goes to the ones who do. Get up. Show up. Throw up if you have to. Do it afraid, but do it no matter.”
