You become like the people you surround yourself with, so hang around better people.

“Ski the conditions “ (which I saw in a ski lodge kitchen. I take it to mean, If you’re lucky enough to be on a ski slope pointed down, don’t complain about a little ice or hard packed snow, just go with it).

If you’re gonna start a job, then finish it too.

Listen first.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Carpe diem.

Serenity prayer.

Make good choices.

To my kid every day when I drop off at school
Be Brave
Be Kind
Make good choices

I added, Be the Light, recently. We watched White Bird the movie ( based on the book) and the main character talked about how anyone can be the light in someone else’s darkness. So now I try to be someone’s light when I can and I encourage my kid to do the same.

This too shall pass.

We can do hard things.
The only way out is through.
Pray not to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them.

Fortune favors the brave.

Sin can be forgiven, stupidity lasts forever.

Leave it nicer than how you found it

Never let someone’s opinion of you become your own.

You’re only limited by how hard you are willing to work.

Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress.
