“Here’s the truth: you are going to waste a lot of hours focusing on who you are not, or who you want to secretly be. But you won’t ever wake up and actually be that person. You’ve got to embrace what you bring to the table. If you don’t like what that is, have the courage to change it.” (Hannah Brencher, 25 Things Every Woman Needs to Know)

“Say no to the drug of gradualness. It was Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke out strongly against making slow changes. Either we risk or we don’t, he said. Either we change or we don’t. There’s no acceptable middle ground because it lulls us into complacency. Lasting changes rarely occur when we ease our way into the future. They come when we leap. The leap themselves can be small or large. Once we take action, we see things differently and for many of us there’s no going back.” (Robert Cooper, The Other 90%: How to Unlock Your Vast Untapped Potential for Leadership and Life)
________
“It has taken far too long to figure out that in life dumb just will happen, but stupid always is a choice, a decision, and stupid has consequences. Our goal in life is to keep dumb and stupid far apart. Remember, stupid always is a choice, and it usually has stupid consequences. Think!” (Fr. Brian Cavanaugh)
