Losing a child is probably the singular most horrible thing.

Self-esteem must be earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself.

We, as human beings, should wish to be loved and embraced for our character, respected and relied on for our courage, and trusted for our conscience.

Postponing happiness until "all your ducks are in order" means never because life is not that clean, fair or predictable. It isn't what happens to you that defines your life, it is what you do with it that does.

The path to solid, supportive, healthy relationships, self-respect, and a quality life starts with the usually painful decision to do the Right Thing.

In the end analysis, all we have is who we are and the way we have lived our lives.

Make decisions from the strong part of you, not the weak.
