We never truly "get over" a loss, but we can move forward and evolve from it.

There is nothing like feeling truly "awake" and aware of my life and what it means to me. So I look ahead and think, "There is still so much to be done, and I will continue to make the most of it.

I would still rather feel things and live life to the fullest rather than hide in a cave and attempt to protect myself from the uncertainties of the world.

It is true that the grief journey is very lonely, but it is also up to you to decide just how lonely you will make it.

The truth is, we never know what life will bring us and we don't have as much control as we might think we have. But we CAN choose how we walk through life and how we spend our time.

You have to do what feels right for you. Do not let anyone influence you otherwise. It is your mind, your heart, and your own internal wisdom that will lead you in the direction you need to go.

Once you have walked down the grief path, what you have gained on your journey may turn into invaluable advice for someone else.

Remember to view yourself and your humanness with a kind heart.

One of the greatest skills any leader can master is becoming comfortable with silence.

Every child is in a way a genius; and every genius is in a way a child.

I think it is great to unite all kickboxing styles under one set of rules.

Marriage is a commitment, so you always have to work at it.

The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion.

The continued propinquity of another human being cramps the style after a time unless that person is somebody you think you love. Then the burden becomes intolerable at once.

For the last 40 years of my life I have broken my back, my fingernails, and sometimes my heart, in the practical pursuit of my favourite occupation.

You can victimize yourself by wallowing around in your own past.
