"I don't know how my decisions will impact the rest of my life, but I try to make decisions based on beliefs and morals and principles. I don’t know how my words and actions will ultimately impact my children or my students or my athletes or anyone else, but I try to align my thoughts and deeds with who I am and who I want to be.

It’s not about knowing. It’s believing, and doing, and reflecting, and learning."

"There’s no stopping time, but we don’t have to accept growing old. We can embrace the wisdom of age and blend it with the exuberance of youth.

In our early days, we’re excited about life. We want to learn and grow and do. We don’t get tripped up by expectations and pressures. We live as we are and chase who we wish to be.

That’s the secret of youth. We don’t pine for the “good ‘ol days” because those times were any better. We were better. We were closer to who we really are. We were closer to our dreams.

All we have to do is tap into that energy, and we can. We can be ourselves. We can pursue our passions. We can embrace living; and one day, we can look back and remember when we were older."

--Stress isn't all bad. We need that pressure to learn and change and grow. Stress is only a problem when we face more than we're ready to handle.

"When I was Older"

--In terms of years and months and days, I'm older than I've ever been; but I don't feel that way. We don't have to grow old just because we get older.
