“Our wounds ultimately give us wisdom. Our stumbling blocks inevitably become our stepping stones. And our setbacks lead us to our strengths”

The most satisfied and enlightened people realize that successful and dynamic living starts from within. Before you can care for others, you must care for yourself.

The treasures of your life will present themselves to you only if you really are open to them.

Too many among us are afraid to be ourselves. So we give up our dreams to follow the crowd.

Greatness comes by beginning something that doesn’t end with you.

Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.

No matter what you are experiencing in life right now, trust that all is unfolding in your best interests.

Please remember that your greatest talent is so much more powerful than your biggest fear.

The more you go to your limits, the more your limits will expand.

You are much closer than you think to creating a life you adore.

Kindness, quite simply, is the rent we must pay for the space we occupy on this planet.

When your every thought and your every action is directed to your ultimate life goals, you become unstoppable and assured of great success and happiness.

Greatness begins beyond your comfort zone.

Cut your excuses in half and double your actions around your goals.

The beautiful thing about setbacks is they introduce us to our strengths.

Your life is meant to be an epic story. How you think, perform and live today is part of that script.

Making no decision is a decision. To do nothing. And doing nothing always brings you to nowhere.

You hit road blocks in life, but I’m living proof that you can overcome those road blocks and become what you want to become.

The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.

The world that you can go walk outside and walk around the block. That’s reality. The reality that’s being talked about is something else entirely.

Every time there has been an effort by the Haitian people to overcome the misery and poverty that comes from 200 years of bitter attacks, really bitter, the U.S. steps in and blocks it.

You don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.

… I had never given much credence to the phenomenon of “writer’s block”.

To obstruct this is to block God’s purposes in and through his people.

At the drabber moments of my life (swilling some excrement from the steps, for instance, or rooting with a bent coat-hanger down a blocked sink) thoughts occur like.
