“Bad habits are like having a sumo wrestler in the back of your canoe rowing the opposite direction.”

“There may be a day when you find yourself standing at the precipice, looking down into the abyss of hopelessness and waiting, pleading, begging for someone who has been in this place before to come alongside you and show you the way back to hope.”

“Authority to dream is not given, it is taken. Take it. Do not let the judgment of others be the final word. Without a doubt, if there is a one-word, one-step cure for bad peg moments, that word is perseverance. Let that be your final word.”

“He who cannot swim should neither chase the dolphins nor play with sharks. For him disaster awaits like sunrise.”

“Embrace the change you desperately need. Tear down your walls and show gratitude for little things.”

“If you cannot see where you are going, ask someone who has been there before.”

“One thing is undeniably clear. We have all had bad experiences, we have all had tragedies in our lives which help to shape who we are.”
