Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.

The problem with lethargy is that doing nothing validates the fear that nothing can be done.

Realistic optimism allows us to experience the best until we have to deal with the worst ... which often, never comes.

There are two ways to make someone important in our lives ... we can either love them or hate them.

Family is the place where acceptance and validation are most needed, but often the hardest to find.

Serenity is not just an escape, but a precursor to acceptance, courage, wisdom, and change.

When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.
