The misfortunes of yesterday hold the fortunes of tomorrow.

I don’t want to fear the mess that I’ve made of the past, nor fear the mess that I feel I’ll make of the future. What I want to do is to realize that I stand in a moment between both that is dictated by neither. Therefore, I have the power to heal from the former and change the latter.

We need to let the past be the preparation for the future, not the place that is our future.

If I don’t learn how to think, then I don’t think I’ll ever learn.

The real crisis in any crisis is not the crisis itself. Rather, it is having missed the opportunities within the crisis.

In reality, the goal is not the ‘destination’ of the journey. Rather, the goal is the ‘summation’ of the journey. Therefore, if I’ve not paid attention to the journey have I achieved the goal at all?

Instead of the weight that sinks us, consequences are often the life preserver that saves us.

A consequence may be the very thing that saves us because it was the only thing loud enough to get our attention.

Sometimes consequences are building blocks fashioned of granite when successes are shaped of clay.
