There is an interconnectedness among members that bonds the family, much like mountain climbers who rope themselves together when climbing a mountain, so that if someone should slip or need support, he's held up by the others until he regains his footing.

People who consistently win have a clear and thoughtful strategy. They know what they need to do and when they need to do it. They write it down so they stay on course, and avoid any alternative that does not get them closer to the finish line.

It's hard to see your own face without a mirror.

You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.

Instead of being ashamed of what you've been through, be proud of what you have overcome!

If what you're doing isn't working, change it.

Life’s a marathon, not a sprint.
