21 " Think of the principle as that precise moment you recall everything that makes you love that person: the number of times your partner makes you smile, comforts and supports you. During those times dig deep and shift your focus from whatever bad is happening today, at this minute, and appreciate every other day, hour and second that person spends being “the one. "
― Carlos Wallace , The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S: Train Your Mind to Enjoy Serenity
22 " The seriousness of being part of Operation Desert Storm-the first major foreign crisis for the United States after the end of the Cold War- was never lost upon us. "
23 " Staring down the reality of war, far from home, asleep among strangers, that familiarity, those memories, those ties kept us going; gave us a reason to persevere; toughened us up. "
24 " Dozens of days, experiences, and encounters have set me on a path I never dreamed possible. "
25 " The most liberating feeling in the world is to not give the negative opinions of others any traction. "
26 " Do not waste your life away by wishing for days you may not even get to see. "
27 " Make a difference, change the game for the better, leave a legacy, be a guide that someone else can follow and make better, and then someone else will follow that and make that better. "
28 " Be the start of something that is good, revolutionary and powerful. Everything after that is a bonus! "
29 " My incentive? Making a peaceful spirit second nature. And that is so worth the effort. "
30 " Door money. It’s a distraction. It impedes judgment. It blurs focus. Chasing the almighty dollar can become the root of all evil, the bane of one’s existence. "
31 " DOOR MONEY” To focus on door money means one is paying so much attention to the amount of money they are making at the door they do not consider there is much more profit to be made inside a venue. "
32 " People who are distracted by door money, neglect the production and the audience. Money becomes their god. They sacrifice their reputation in favor of building revenue. Believe me; the former is more difficult to recover if lost. "
33 " Never lose sight of the people who are the foundation of the future you are working to build. "
34 " If you continue to concentrate so deeply on the negative factors you are unable to acknowledge all the positive results. "
35 " Now is the time to realize your potential and look beyond disappointment and focus on blessings. They are all around you, if you only take the time to welcome them into your life. "
36 " There should always be an end game, or else all you are doing is practicing for an opportunity for which you have no idea of what it is or what it will even look like. "
37 " I just follow God's lead. One step, one day and one opportunity at a time. The hardest part is not becoming distracted. "
38 " We must learn to choose between lining our bank accounts and being accountable for our future. "
39 " You own your feelings. You own your thoughts. You control both. No one has the right to any of it—to any of you without your permission. "
40 " Testing the wrong person can prove a massive failure for the antagonist. "
