I'm not running around as a continual ray of sunshine. It's just I don't believe in wasting time feeling sorry for myself. Get over it.

Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that's not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone.

Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.

Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.
