Everything outside of your control has no value. When you place value on things that have no value, your time, energy, and resources are always going to be wasted. Worse yet, you will have missed so many other opportunities to fulfill your dreams and potential. Finally, the more value we attribute to things that have no value, the more control we give away. When we place value on things we cannot control, we lose our freedom. 

Silence is going to always be the best response toward negativity, aggressiveness, and anger. 

The silence is for you as much as it is for them. It allows you time to collect your emotions and determine your next actions and allows them the space to reevaluate their own actions. 

The best version of yourself is always going to be better than any other possible version. 

You become your best when your heart, mind, and actions are consistently aligned. 

How you talk about yourself is also how you present yourself to others. 

Behavior is always the best evidence of commitment. 

The art of turning criticism into feedback for growth is what separates achievers from victims. 

For today to become easy, make an excuse. 

For tomorrow to become impossible, make an excuse today. 

If you want to create a better life, simplify it. 

Simplification creates clarity. 

Clarity gives us insights into what to do next. 

When we know what to do,

then we can have more peace,

and feel less anxiety,

as long as we go and do. 

Belief and hope create the magic that powers faith. 

Faith in what is true is what allows us to be free, find success, and succeed. 

Avoiding big mistakes,

avoiding big trouble, 

avoiding serious calamity, 

is a much more useful skill than any type of fixing ability. 

Yet, learning to fix problems and get out of complex dilemmas is a vital and required skill for success in life, relationships, and career.
