Nothing will work unless you do.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can control your attitude toward them. " There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." " You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can control your attitude toward them." " Nothing will work unless you do." " If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." " I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." " I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." " I am my best work—a series of road maps, reports, recipes, doodles, and prayers from the front lines." " You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody." " I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life." " The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise." " I am my best work. A series of road maps, reports, recipes, doodles, and prayers from the front lines." " I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one." The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise. You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody. I am my best work—a series of road maps, reports, recipes, doodles, and prayers from the front lines. I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |
