Growth

The most sophisticated and intelligent people I know are the ones willing to challenge their thinking and admit there's more to learn.

Life will absolutely not be what you think it will be. It will be hard and wonderful and messy and rewarding, with more versions of you than you think possible.

The real questions are: Am I getting better as a person? And is what I'm doing bringing me and the ones around me happiness?

I learned not to be disillusioned by failure, not to be burdened by perfection, and not to be intimidated by greatness.

Measure your success by how much you evolve, not necessarily how much you win.

If you want to cross the river of life, you're gonna get wet. And that's not a bug — that's a feature.

Embrace your inexperience and keep taking leaps forward.

Learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher.

My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life. And being embarrassed when you mess up, it's part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that's a gift.

Hard things will happen to us. We will recover. We will learn from it. We will grow more resilient because of it. And as long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing, we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out.

Losing things doesn't just mean losing. A lot of the time, when we lose things, we gain things too.
