Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.

It doesn't really matter how fast you're going if you're heading in the wrong direction.

Whenever you experience stress of any kind, look into yourself and ask, In what way am I compromising my innermost values in this situation?

We're constantly making choices about the way we spend our time. The issue is not between the good and the bad, but between the good and the best. So often, the enemy of the best is the good.

If you put good people in bad systems you get bad results. You have to water the flowers you want to grow.

Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them. Eventually, your honor will become greater than your moods or your circumstances, which includes your medical condition and other people's stereotypic observations. Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.

Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do-learn, commit, and do-and learn, commit, and do again.
