It's not helpful if we spend every day dreading tomorrow ~Jai

There are respectful, considerate things that can be done in life that will be appreciated by the recipient, and only good things can result.

And even though I did not reach the National Football League, I sometimes think I got more from pursuing that dream, and not accomplishing it, than I did from many of the ones I did accomplish.

There's a limit to how many times you can read how great you are and what an inspiration you are, but I'm not there yet.

It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.

We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.

Another way to be prepared is to think negatively. Yes, I'm a great optimist. but, when trying to make a decision, I often think of the worst case scenario. I call it 'the eaten by wolves factor.' If I do something, what's the most terrible thing that could happen? Would I be eaten by wolves? One thing that makes it possible to be an optimist, is if you have a contingency plan for when all hell breaks loose. There are a lot of things I don't worry about, because I have a plan in place if they do.
