I read myself out of poverty, long before I worked myself out of poverty.

True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort.

True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome.

I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have-life itself.

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.

Believe in something big. Your life is worth a noble motive.

Nothing quells anxiety like action!
