Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
So I really did stop and change what I saw I was about, and really try to put that principle into play as the center of everything - my friendships, my marriage, my career, my family, my way of being in the world. And that changed everything for me.
