Gentle

You don't need to change yourself. Ever. You need to come home to yourself. And that changes everything.

If you have 50 years left, or 50 days left, or even 50 minutes left, it's never too late to become what you might have been.

When one door closes, another door always opens. It really does.

Every other disappointment that happened... they were like guideposts that kept me on my path.

Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever.

Of all the things you do in life or all the questions you ponder, I would like you to keep kindness at the top of the list.

Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal.

Find somebody to be successful for. Raise their hopes. Rise to their needs.

You should always listen to that God core and care for others, and then you truly will be something special.

You shouldn't be afraid to let passion get behind the wheel — you might really love where you end up.

You don't need the answers today. Your job is to walk out into the unknown and see what happens. Take your time, learn and enjoy something from each job, layer it on, and then pass it along so others can benefit from your wisdom.

In the end, life is about the big and small things. The 'A' on the exam and the car-ride conversations, the game-winning touchdown and the 'Hi' in the hallway. What we view as the smaller things are the more important things.
