You've got to give your past attention, but you've got to forgive yourself, ACKNOWLEDGE what you did wrong, and be a MAN, taking RESPONSIBILITY. You can't not FLY anymore because of the things you've been through. You've got to believe in a brighter future, that better version of yourself.

The only WAY we'll know where we're going is to LOOK at the past and to REMEMBER who we were through ceremonies and RITUALS.

I READ a lot of BOOKS. I read because it inspires me and shows me paths that I could never imagine. Sometimes those paths are horrible and sad, and sometimes they are hopeful and amazing. Not ALWAYS are they paths to the future, and sometimes the paths are actually about the past but make SENSE when applied to the future. Books are amazing.

Happiness is in our own HEARTS. I have no regrets of anything in the past. I'm totally CHEERFUL and happy, and I think that a lot of your attitude is not in the circumstances you FIND yourself in, but in the circumstances you make for yourself.

I know in the PAST REPUBLICANS have AGREED to minimum-wage increases that there's built-in protections for small and midsize BUSINESSES.

Anyone who says that WRITING for children or teens is easier than writing for adults has NEVER tried it, because they are so MUCH more critical than adults. You cannot get ANYTHING past them.

In GENERAL, I NEVER THINK it is a good idea to try to RECREATE past successes. You have to strike out on your own, for BETTER or worse.

'Carpe Diem' is a PHRASE that I TRY to embrace. It means seize the day, to make the most of the present and to give LITTLE thought to the past or FUTURE. In the time that I have here, I want to love and live LIFE to the fullest while being a positive influence on others. And I want a full life for everyone.

If you were not to SET an ALARM clock, WOULD you sleep past it? If the ANSWER is YES, then there is clearly more sleep that is needed.
