Powerful Quotes

What I focus on in life is what I get. And if I concentrate on how bad I am or how wrong I am or how inadequate I am, if I concentrate on what I can't do and how there's not enough time in which to do it, isn't that what I get every time? And when I think about how powerful I am, and when I think about what I have left to contribute, and when I think about the difference I can make on this planet, then that's what I get. You see, I recognize that it's not what happens to you; it's what you do about it.

One strange feeling, which I remember clearly, was a powerful link with the slain, particularly those that had fallen within the past hour or two.

Appreciation is the absence of everything that feels bad and the presence of everything that feels good.
