I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.

The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.

I can't always control my body the way I want to, and I can't control when I feel good or when I don't. I can control how clear my mind is. And I can control how willing I am to step up if somebody needs me.

I can, therefore I am.

I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.

I am the guardian of power, not its owner.
