Meaning is found not in the rewards, for they are only tokens. Seek not to have the gold medal. Instead, seek to be the person who can win the gold medal. It is in the quest that you'll find the fulfillment which the reward represents.

Carrying a grudge is difficult work that brings nothing of value. Forgive, and be free.

You are what you are most profoundly thankful for, and what you love.

If you're to succeed at any endeavor, the first and most important person you must convince is yourself. Success comes not from merely a belief that you can do it. Success comes when you absolutely know you can achieve it

Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.

If something goes wrong, don’t whine about it. Have a spine about it. Adjust, adapt, and move forward.

You have created your fears. And you can choose to lay them to rest. You have created your dreams. And you can choose to bring them fully to life.
