“I'm working on forgiving myself for some not-so-hot choices I've made in my life. I neglected two people I loved dearly.

Having made that choice, I find the grief in my heart finally abating. Now I teach the need to forgive yourself and others relentlessly.”

“Recipe For Greatness - To bear up under loss; To fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief; To be victor over anger; To smile when tears are close; To resist disease and evil men and base instincts; To hate hate and to love love; To go on when it would seen good to die; To look up with unquenchable faith in something ever more about to be. That is what any man can do, and be great.”
