Friends are people who are in your life because you feel good around them and you like them. Friends are the people you choose to be with.

It's your life... why not fill it with as much joy as possible?

People fall down, winners get up, and gold medal winners just get up faster!

When I am around someone who is a joy stealer, I say to myself, I only have to deal with you for an hour. That person has to deal with thinking that way every moment of their lives.

My definition of confidence is how you feel about yourself, and not letting the external world define you.

I was sexually abused by my step father for years and years, and that caused scars you can't see. And we know many people have the kind of scars you can't see.

You can't have real and authentic friendships unless you honor your feelings.

God has joy for you right now.

I spent so much of my life shut down from the abuse of my childhood. I didn't have friends and I didn't have connections with people.

I do a lot of to-dos and a lot of lists. I realized I had to make room for joy. So I added "to feel" items on my to-do list. That's something you can easily do.

I realized that I spent more time thinking about my problem clients than my great clients. I had to stop feeding the drama of the problem clients-and other problems in my life.

People need God the way a three-year-old needs a chainsaw.

Raising people is not some lark. It's serious work with serious repercussions. It's air-traffic control. You can't step out for a minute

Most of the choices we make each day may feel like the products of well-considered decision making, but they’re not. They’re habits.

Generally speaking, you like to dance with the girl that brung you, and if you can't sometimes you have to shoot her.

I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper.

All you need is the courage to believe in yourself and put one foot in front of the other.

Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.

When you find that your life is out of alignment with your grandest idea of yourself, seek to change it.

I've rarely met a miserable, self-pitying blind person.
