Friends multiply our joys - and divide our woes.

Don't sweat the small stuff.  When managed well, it's all small stuff.

"You've got to pay the price.  Winning is not a sometime thing; It's an all-the-time-thing.  You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time.  Winning is a habit."   -Vince Lombardi

Until we overcome a fear, courage is necessary to function.  Courage bridges the chasm between fear and fearlessness.  A courageous life is not a fearless life.  Courage, not fearlessness, is the warrior spirit.
