“Have you ever felt trapped in circumstances, then discovered that the only trap was your own lack of vision, lack of courage, or failure to see that you had better options?”

I will try one hundred times to get up, and if I fail one hundred times. If I fail and I give up, will I ever get up? No! If I fail I’ll try again, and again and again. But I want to tell you it’s not the end.

The greatest rewards come when you give of yourself. It’s about bettering the lives of others, being part of something bigger than yourself, and making a positive difference.

Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.

You do not know what you can achieve until you try.

I don’t want to be someone’s reason to hate their life. I want to be someone’s reason to seek something more in their life.

Whether your life is happy or not is your own choice.

Failure is not important, how you overcome it is.

When you can’t get a miracle, you can still be a miracle for someone else.

You don’t know what God can do with your broken pieces until you give God your broken pieces.

We all start with zero. We all start at the beginning. Do not give up.

If the world thinks you’re not good enough, it’s a lie, you know. Get a second opinion.

Talk with your daughters, Play with your sons. You need to be a better friend to them than anyone else. This society offers lots of evil friends. Before they make those kinds of friends, they need to find their best friend in you.

It is better to be silent and be real than to talk and not be real.

Giving up something now for something better later is not a sacrifice. It is an investment.

If you want to be in the game you better shoot 75% from the line.
