Key Quotes

"We often get discouraged because we wake up and realize that we're on a path or in a race that's headed to a finish line, but it may not be the one that we actually want to cross.""You have to ...simply decide on any given day, in any given moment, or in any given season, what you're not going to pay attention to or that you're going to pay less attention to."
