Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.

No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.

Not everything needs to be fixed

If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

Sometimes all you have to do is ask, and it can lead to all your dreams coming true.

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.
