Day
(page 14)
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.
Technology has forever changed the world we live in. We're online, in one way or another, all day long. Our phones and computers have become reflections of our personalities, our interests, and our identities. They hold much that is important to us.
Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day — as long as you treat it that way.
For me, there's nothing better than curling up in my favorite blanket on a cloudy or rainy day and just knit. Especially in front of the fireplace.
Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things.
Save a boyfriend for a rainy day — and another, in case it doesn't rain.
Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.
Being surrounded by love and people that care about your heart is the dream. That's what I would like on my last day.
I suppose being fierce is a very good thing, and a very cool thing. But more than fierce, I think I'm a strong person and a strong individual. And that's what I take with me every day.
I was given such a great gift. It's a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I'll be. I just want to be a better man.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend — or a meaningful day.
But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field — to enhance their physical appearance.
The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make — not just on your wedding day, but over and over again — and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.
When you wake up each morning, you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Unless some terrible catastrophe has occurred the night before, it is pretty much up to you. Tomorrow morning, when the sun shines through your window, choose to make it a happy day.
I'm blessed and I thank God for every day for everything that happens for me.
