“Things never happen the way you plan. Take it a second at a time. Stay in the moment. It s the only way to control it. Your thoughts can paralyze you.

Drown in it. Then take a step back. Comparmentalize it. Remember, anything s attainable. And take every risk you can, as long as you trust yourself.”
“Fight one more round. When your feet are so tired that you have to shuffle back to the centre of the ring, fight one more round.

“Don t you get tired of waiting? You ve wasted four years waiting for your soul mate. He looked like he was about to interject in protest, but decided to simply clamp his mouth shut and listen. What if you don t meet your soul mate again this year? What if next year you don t either? And the year after that?”
