If for even a moment I would pull myself away from this mad search for everything that I don't have to take a look at everything that I do have, this mad search would instantly devolve into a calm peace. And if there’s one thing I don’t have that has driven this mad search, you can bet that this is probably it.

Sometimes how high we can go depends on how low we have fallen, for it is in experiencing the depths that we finally become convinced of the heights.

In our frenzied attempts to catch up with life, we run right past it. Once we have run past it, what we are in reality attempting to catch is ourselves.

I have been driven to desperation more times than I can count. But it is here that I have been driven to the greatest inspiration that I can contain.

If I rise above what people do to me and consistently strive to be the ‘bigger man’ despite the cost to me, I will never become what I dislike in others.

The passion of one man will always outrun the intellect of a thousand others.

My passion always runs ahead of my abilities. But in the process of keeping a close second, my abilities get a great workout.

Are my efforts driven by the need to win at all cost, or am I inspired by the desire to hold onto my integrity despite the cost? For I would be wise to realize that exercising the former will cost me both the former and the latter.

My life is too often driven by the fear of the next moment verses focusing on the privilege that I have the next moment.
