“You will never really think hard about your life until your oxygen mask is taken away from you when you are at the bed of the ocean. At that exact moment, your true self will be revealed.

At first there’s a keen awareness of the fit: a stiffness at the heel, the binding of the width, the curve pressed to the arch. But with time and enough steps, the feel becomes so natural you almost forget you’re wearing them at all.”

“Life has a plan for each of us; we may not understand the whys on our journey but every event is meaningful nonetheless.”

“You were meant to be right here right now...so make the most of it!”

“Wisdom comes from making mistakes, having the courage to face them, and make adjustments moving forward based upon the knowledge aquired through those experiences.”

“The Time (T) and Energy (E) we invest in others, people will take it and carry it with them.”

“We can't change yesterday, but we can change tomorrow...”

“Somewhere, somebody is looking for someone exactly like you.”
