I could do with more life in my time.

If I accomplish but one thing today, let it be that I am a better person than I was yesterday.

I would not be as good as I am today were it not for all the mistakes I’ve made.

I will never agree to disagree. To agree to disagree is nothing more than declaring, "I am fluxomed by your argument so you can piss off." It declares that you do not have the skills to continue the debate. Agreeing to disagree is the adult equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and chanting nah nah nah nah. Rise above. Do not succumb to anti-intellectualism by agreeing to disagree.

I would not be where I am today were it not for the path I have walked.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are little bridges that connect “oh shit” to “almost there” to “thank God!”

Sometimes it is helpful to remind yourself the goal is to win.

The Two Wolves
A Cherokee elder was teaching his grandchildren about life.
He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, hatefulness, and lies.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, humbleness, kindness, friendship, generosity, faith, and truth.
This same fight is going on inside of you, and inside every other person, too.”
The children thought about it for a minute. Then one child asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The Cherokee elder replied…
“The one you feed.”

That is all.

I feel I could be so much greater than the person I am if it weren’t for the person I am standing in the way.
