Life can be an enchantingly wonderful experience.... but it can also be tough, brutal, and unforgiving... but NOTHING can happen that God hasn't allowed... Don't give up!!! You're built for this... Designed for the victories AND the scars... Wear them with pride and let each day find you better, stronger, and more BADASSSS than ever!

Life's rainy days... They bring out the rainbows, but they also bring out the worms. Pay attention to who's who and what's what.

There were times I thought the best of my life had passed me by. I thought I was too old and too damaged to have anything good happen. Well, the BEST parts of my life happened after that. I'm so glad I was wrong! Turns out, it's never too late to meet the people you never knew you could love so much.

I may stumble. I may fall. I may cry. But I'll NEVER give up! Tomorrow, I rise again.

The sun shines powerfully and the flowers express themselves beautifully regardless of your opinion, gratitude, or indifference. They live out their purpose... UNAPOLOGETICALLY. I love that!

Don’t ignore what they show you. No matter how much you wish it weren’t so, it is. Stop arguing with reality. They are what their behavior reveals them to be... Respond and move forward accordingly.

People who haven’t been through shit, seen shit, or done shit... telling me they would have handled my situation differently... that’s my favorite. Cheer or Boo, I don’t care. Keep your zombie ass on the bleachers... because I’m just getting started.

I grabbed the mic and walked towards the stage. They said, “Knock them dead, Steve!”I replied, “They’re already dead...I’m about to knock them ALIVE!

It’s my life and I’m not afraid to LIVE it! I would rather experience the ups and downs of a life I have chosen, than to suffer the regret of a life I have settled for.
