Resilience

Our wounds are our best lessons, our life's biggest teachers. I have seen powerful love that has changed me forever. It has made me try to walk in other shoes, show more compassion and humility.

Our wounds are our best lessons, our life's biggest teachers.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Don't be afraid of change. If something is truly not working and you have sincerely done all you can do to make it work, chuck it and start over.

Never ever give up. Don't give up. Don't allow it to happen. If there's a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over it, go around it, but get to the other side of that wall.

To live life at its fullest you have to have the chutzpah to accept challenges.

My favorite animal is the turtle. The reason is that in order for the turtle to move, it has to stick its neck out. There are going to be times in your life when you're going to have to stick your neck out.

Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair. At the end of your days, you will be judged by your gallop, not by your stumble.

Learn to love the process of revision — in your writing and in your life. Don't be afraid of the editing.

Never give up, never, never give up! Because the only person that can stop you is — YOU!

Nobody else is paying as much attention to your failures as you are. You're the only ones who are obsessed with the importance of your own life. To everyone else, it's just a blip on the radar screen.

Great success is not built on success. It is built on failure, frustration and sometimes even calamity.
