To give up too easily leads to regret, yet trying and then failing can lead us to second chances if we do not accept it as a failure, but a chance to learn.

There are no completely good or bad people. Everybody makes mistakes, or bad choices. It's how we live with them that make us the people we are.

Miles and years become suddenly invisible when you find yourself back where you started from, as if you've learned nothing and you are once again the person you once were.

There is how we were before, and how we are now, and the time between is spent choosing which doors to open, and which to close.

Don’t see the notes. See the music. See the story it is telling you. Allow the music to change you. Allow it to give you the courage to do whatever you need to

Great tragedy gives us opportunities for great kindness.

Adversity in life does not rob your heart of beauty. It simply teaches it a new song to sing.
