“The happiest, most successful, extraordinary people are not people who have coasted through life. They’ve fallen, they’ve been shoved; they’ve known loss and defeat. They’ve struggled out of the darkest, deepest pits and they’ve emerged with their hearts softened, their minds sharpened, and their spirits concerned for others. These are the rare beautiful people who know how to think their way to greatness. They understand that a great life begins with a great thought.”
