The most dire of all of life's grueling deceptions wedge themselves in in our minds between truth and perceptions.

We don't have to be defined by the things we did or didn't do in our past. Some people allow themselves to be controlled by regret. Maybe it's a regret, maybe it's not. It's merely something that happened. Get over it.
Never lose faith in yourself, and never lose hope; remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back, there is still always hope.
When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.
We will not conquer our obstacles by running away from them. Speed does not matter, just that we do not stop.
The key to change is letting go of the fear.
From the beginning, I imagined I would have a long work life.
My spirit life very much depends on my work. My work very much depends on my spirit life. And I pray every day, as part of my own ritual, to a god I believe in, not a god somebody else believes in.
I've done a lot of independent travelling, which hasn't been the best career choice, but it's been a really great life choice.
Don't defy the diagnosis, try to defy the verdict.
