My experience is to deal with things through humor.

The story is a testament to the consolations that get me through and give meaning to every area of my life.

Pity is a benign form of abuse.

If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

There's an idea I came across a few years ago that I love: My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations. That's the key for me. If I can accept the truth of 'This is what I'm facing - not what can I expect but what I am experiencing now' - then I have all this freedom to do other things.

If you want to be an agent of change, it starts with you and what you're made of.

If I were overweight because I ate too much, I would have far more of a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it.
