Real treasure is not about what we found. Rather, it’s about the fact that we finally found it.

If I could understand that every ‘reality’ was once a ‘wish’, and that it moved from the latter to the former because someone was committed enough to make it so, I’d be the person that I want verses the person I’ve become.

The only place that a defeat becomes a defeat is when I make it so in my mind.

The problem with patience is that we are not patient enough to learn it.

I watched a squirrel fall from a rather high branch. Upon hitting the ground, he bounced slightly, paused, shook himself vigorously and then immediately scampered back up to the very same place on the very same branch from which he’d fallen. There are some that might call that stupidity. Then there are others like myself who would call that tenacity. And while I generally have no interest in being a squirrel, in this particular respect I wouldn’t mind being like one.

It is in building the best of our abilities that we ultimately destroy the worst of our liabilities.

I don’t necessarily sit around inviting life to knock me down, but when it does I don’t wait around for an invitation to stand back up either.

Simply giving something ‘a shot’ is not giving something our ‘best,’ for our best is made up of as many ‘shots’ as it takes in order to be our best.

If the road is easy, it’s probably easy because it’s not a road and you’re not on it.
