C.S. Lewis

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

You are what you are and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.

What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do.

It was incredible because it was forced humility. Previously, I would’ve looked at humility as more of a negative thing.

I’ve got to confess I’m a pragmatic optimist myself.

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

I took up an offer for me to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. It worked. I lost 30 days!

I’m really clear about what my life mission is now. There’s no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I’ve returned to the athlete I once was. I’m integrating all the parts of me – jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher – and becoming stronger as a result.

Vision is the art of seeing things that are not yet visible.
