“Life is choices, and they are relentless. No sooner have you made one choice than another is upon you. You may not control life’s circumstances, but getting to be the author of your life means getting to control what you do with them.”

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

“Courage is strength in the face of knowledge of what is to be feared or hoped. Wisdom is prudent strength.”

“Have a conversation with your family about your end-of-life wishes while you are healthy. No one wants to have that discussion… but if you do, you’ll be giving your loved ones a tremendous gift, since they won’t have to guess what your wishes would have been, and it takes the onus of responsibility off of them.”
