  • Listen to your hope, not your fears.

  • You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live now.
  • Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation. 
  • Never ask "why me?" It's a waste of time and energy.   
  • The Serenity Prayer, which follows: God grant me the serenity to:
    • Accept the things I cannot change

    • Wisdom to know the difference.
