“In order to be able to live the life you love, live the life you’ve dreamt for yourself, all you have to do is keep on getting back up. Nothing and no one can defeat you without your permission. Everybody gets knocked down, the question becomes, how quickly are you going to get up?”

“The thing about power is, EVERYONE has power in some form or another. How, why, where, and with (or against) whom you use your power is what sets you apart from others. Powerful people act strategically to reach a meaningful, beneficial goal; an outcome that serves the greater good. A lot of people *with* power (there is a difference) act to keep you from reaching goals. They are self-serving and insecure; they overcompensate by wielding power to mask weaknesses. Someone who weaponizes power has little understanding of how the influence works. Ultimately, how you choose to use (or abuse) power, is completely your choice and a reflection of your character.”

“Every time you doubt yourself, feel like giving up, think the enemy is winning, underestimate your strength, power, endurance, you give negativity another opportunity to keep you from being the incredible human being you are destined to become. Push harder if you need to, want it more if you have to, believe in yourself because, well, if you don't, you can't expect others to. Fight for the happiness and success you have earned!”

“We have become imprisoned by technology and by our jobs. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious, responsible, and hard-working. But, I’d hate for anyone to die wishing they’d enjoyed life more and worked less. Your final thought should be, “Man, I had a friggin’ blast. An amazing life. No regrets. It’s been a great run. A crapload of fun.”
