• Releasing guilt is like removing a huge weight from your shoulders. Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. Let go of standards of perfection and refuse to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that continue to frustrate and weaken you. Instead, vow to be better than you used to be, which is the true test of nobility.

• Me having a beautiful wife and great family and friends around me, all the money I've got, all the things that I've got, a Ferrari that I just ripped the top off of and turned into a convertible, the rings I got, the two mansions on the water, a master's in criminal justice, I'm a cop, plus I look good. So me shooting 40 percent at the foul line is just God's way of saying that nobody's perfect. If I shot 90 percent from the line, it just wouldn't be right.

• You know them days you just got the blues,
  All stressed and depressed from just watchin' the news?
  No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed.
  Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in the mood.
  Shake that attitude and do what you can,
  Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans.
  Time waits for no man and tomorrow's not promised,
  So if she's still alive, shoot a call to your mama.
  Cause the fighting and the drama, it's just not worth it,
  Nobody's perfect, ain't none of us worthless.
  We all got a place, and we all got a purpose.
