Life's inevitable changes are like a compulsory roller-coaster ride. You can cower and shut your eyes tight, or you can exult in the thrills.
Challenges are inevitable, Defeat is optional.
Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.
Coasting only takes you downhill.
We are a product of the choices we make, not the circumstances that we face.
If you enter a race and finish last, you are a winner. The loser never entered the race.
