Just because I feel shitty doesn’t mean I have to look shitty.
Given a choice between being kind and gracious or righteously indignant, choose kind and gracious.
I am not the only one having a really bad time at any given moment.
Intentions don’t matter. Actions and behavior are what counts.
Always allow Love to have a broad definition.
Just because I wholeheartedly disagree with someone doesn’t mean they’re bad or stupid. At the very least, it doesn’t pay to treat them that way.
Belief in my moral imperative does not make my actions morally right.
My hero moment could come at any time. Shoot, did I miss it?
If I miss the pitch, I gotta keep swinging. I’m bound to connect eventually.
If I care about my obituary, I better write it ahead of time.
Always winning may not be in my best interest as the penalty may be too high.
Just because I’m not a musician doesn’t mean I don’t have music in my heart.
The injury is never as difficult as the recovery.
Short term strategy may not serve long term interest. I gotta know the difference.
Screwups are unavoidable. Learn from them and move on.
An apology is not a vehicle to justify behavior.
If I make it to a higher step, I must lend a hand to those on the steps below.
I’d rather have fun then be proud.
If I’m certain I know where X marks the spot, I need to recheck my calculations. X is never where I think it is.
Very few of us have original thoughts. I’m not an outlier.
I’m not the first to feel this way and won’t be the last.
My team and I aren’t the greatest ever to do what we’ve done, we’re just the most recent.
Always have grave doubts about those who say they have the key to my salvation.
Feeling something strongly does not make it truth.
Learn to distinguish facts from hyperbole.
Look up hyperbole.
I can’t fix what’s not in my control, even though I may care passionately.
Not much is in my control.
