Ten Things that Inspire Me
1. Who you are is life’s gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift back to life. 2. To be more you, be less you. Do the opposite of what you're used to doing. 3. Your personal record is against yourself and nobody else. 4. Fear is Forgetting Everything’s All Right 5. Put gratitude in your attitude. 6. Live in day-tight compartments. 7. When agitated, pause and breathe deep. 8. Remember the problem in front of you is never as large as the power behind you. 9. Take care of your mind, heart, body and soul each day. 10. You only get to live once and if you do it right, that’s enough.-
