You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, "You can't." Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does. You can keep going forward.

Don't worry about being successful. Worry about being significant.

The key is not to worry about being successful, but to instead to work toward being significant - and the success will naturally follow.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.

A gift isn't a gift unless it has meaning. Just giving things to people, especially children, create the expectation of more things.

You have the RIGHT to change your mind

If you take care of your body, it'll take care of you.
