"Our thoughts create our reality -- where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go."
"If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it."
"Mistakes show us what we need to learn."
"Guilt is anger directed at ourselves -- at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others -- at what they did or did not do."
"Nothing adventured, nothing attained."
"It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious."
"All the things you think you should have done that you didn't do, and all of the things that you shouldn't have done, accept them. You did (or did not) do them. That's reality. That's happened. No changing the past."
"To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway."
"Fear is something to be moved through, not something to be turned from."
"For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three -- the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings."
"As the world gets dumber and dumber, I feel more and more at home."
"Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort."
