{& for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope.}

"Maybe tonight you’re scared of falling, and maybe there’s somebody here or somewhere else you’re thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you’re gonna land, and I gotta tell you friends that to stop thinking about the landing, because it’s all about falling."

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know.

If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you'd like. What do ya do? You laugh, you know, I'm not saying I don't cry... but in between, I laugh.

If I’m going to be alive, then I might as well be incredible.  I want to do more than just exist.

You never get over it.  But you get to where it doesn’t bother you so much.

It’s a lot easier to say you’re angry than to admit that you’re hurt.

We are constantly faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given rather than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. Its a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Never ignore a gut feeling. But never believe it's enough.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.
