Life is simple yet complex, in the complexity we realize everything is simple for we create our own happiness, our own sadness & our own destiny by not making a choice you have chosen so face life with courage and faith in yourself.

I'm happy to have been a positive influence.

We can choose, you know, we ain't no amoeba.

I would like to inspire a lot of people to be active and give back.

Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
