No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
Choice, not chance, determines your destiny. It's up to you to decide what you are worth, how you matter, and how you make meaning in the world. No one else has your gifts--your set of talents, ideas, interests. You are an original. A masterpiece.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation? When everyone wasn't looking down at a device in their hands? We've become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture, the people right in front of us.
Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
We need to be smarter than our smart phones and realize the people we are with are more important than the people we aren't with, and way more important than the strangers we hope will tweet and like and share and Instagram whatever we're sending out into the cybersphere.
If we threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
We all have a personal pool of quicksand inside us where we begin to sink and need friends and family to find us and remind us of all the good that has been and will be.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
No one really has a bad life. Not even a bad day. Just bad moments.
We want someone else to act. But miracles aren't what other people do. They're what each of us does. They're what happens when ordinary people take extraordinary action. To be a miracle doesn't mean you have to tackle problems across the globe. It means making a difference in your own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, community.
If you're lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can.
Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
Frame every so-called disaster with these words: In five years, will this matter?
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Family is more than DNA, more than who we used to be, more than we can imagine we will become.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
Even if you have nothing in your wallet, nothing can keep you from having a great summer. You can listen to crickets sing you to sleep, trace the Big Dipper, breathe in the stars, run through a sprinkler, host a cartwheel contest in the front yard.
Too often, we get attention and sympathy by being a victim. If we're invested in someone being our villain, we must love being the victim. We have to let go of both characters in the story.
Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
God never gives us more than what we can carry.
