I Am Optimistic. But I Also Know

My Father Is An Intellectual And Physical Man, Which Is A Rather Unusual Combination. He's Great. As He Brought Up Me And My Brothers And Sisters, He Ingrained In Us That Your Appearance Is Not Your Responsibility, Other Than That You Should Not Be A Slob.

Misfortune Can Force You Into Doing Things You Should Be Doing Anyway. Lessons Come From Adversity. Anything Can Happen To Anyone... You Can Find A New Lease On Life - More Meaning Than You Thought Possible In Simple Things... Let Go. Live In The Moment. Go Forward.

Your Body Is Not Who You Are. The Mind And Spirit Transcend The Body.

Pain Is Inevitable. Misery Is A Choice.

Even Though I Don't Personally Believe In The Lord, I Try To Behave As Though He Was Watching.
