NOTABLE QUOTES:
“Anything that you can have fast won’t last.”
“Anything immediate — it comes and it goes very fast. You gotta fall in love with the process, and that process is exciting.”
“Let the emotional thing that’s tied to the failure—let it go. But steal the lesson from that moment to become more. That’s the process, and that’s a beautiful thing. That’s the reward. The reward is, ‘Yeah, I fell down today, but when I got back up, I learned how not to fall that way again.’”
“If I don’t have my health, I don’t have anything else.”
“The gateway to success is an inside-out game. It has to start inside you.”
“I can’t worry about my neighbor right now when I’m trying to fix my home. So let me put my home in the right place, and then maybe, by example, I can be a great example to my neighbor.”
“I know that I have the power to change myself. I may not have the power to change others because they have to decide they want to change.”
“We all have a seed of greatness. We’re here to serve. We’re here for a purpose. We’re here for a reason. We’re here for a why, and it’s not for us—it’s for someone else.”
“When we work on us, then we can work on being better for those around us.”
