I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.

Facts and truth
Everything we hear is an opinion not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective not the truth.

You’ve got a hand and a voice
Oh, but every bad thing that’s happened to you has happened to better men.
So don’t explain that you’ve lost your way, that you’ve got no place to go: You’ve got a hand and a voice and you’re not alone, brother, that’s all you need to know.

A positive perspective
She can live through it, Miss Taggart, because we do not hold the belief that this earth is a realm of misery where man is doomed to destruction. We do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and we do not live in chronic dread of disaster. We do not expect disaster until we have a specific reason to expect it – and when we encounter it, we are free to fight it. It is not happiness, but suffering that we consider unnatural. It is not success, but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.
John Galt, Atlas Shrugged
The big picture
The years teach much which the days never know.

Embrace life
The sun is perfect and you woke this morning. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has an will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.

Solution-oriented!
A bedouin once urinated in the Prophet’s Mosque, and people got up to punish him.
The Prophet said, ‘Leave him alone, and throw a bucket of water over his hurine. You are here to make things easy, not to make things difficult.’
