"There is not a single person I have met in my lifetime who is comfortable talking about death. It's the biggest downside to our youth - centric culture. Death is a bummer, so let's not talk about it. Let's hide it away and hope it never strikes close to home."

"If you have ever procrastinated and then found yourself energized to complete a task at the last minute, then you have used the beneficial aspect of the fight or flight response (not the procrastinating part, but the energizing part). You see, with all its negative long term effects, the fight or flight response still gives us energy, and if we know how to use that energy, then stress is potentially good, at least in the short term."
Health
"There is no such thing as a stress - free life. No evidence has ever been presented which suggests that a stress - free life can ever be achieved. Stress can be managed, relieved and lessened, but never eliminated."

"Write a book, not the book."
Fear
"The most powerful word in time management is NO."
Insight
"It is imperative that your work habits from school do not make their way into your book writing process. I am talking about the practice of typing the last words just before the deadline every time you would hand in an assignment, a paper, or even a thesis. Your book needs time to mature, and you must allow yourself the luxury of rewriting and editing until you are satisfied."
Discipline
"Saying, 'I don't agree with you, or going so far as to say, 'I think your belief structure is childish, does not amount to persecution. Insensitivity is not the same as harassment or oppression."
Perception
"Walk into any church, and you will see people swimming in a sea of emotions (everything from shame and guilt to love and ecstasy). That may be the reason some people think that the more emotional they are, the more spiritual they are. But, as we will explore later in the book, undiluted spirituality has little to do with emotions, and what little it does have has more to do with emotional growth than feelings of elation."
Spiritual
"Self - confidence is built from the inside out and has little or nothing to do with outside circumstances."
Assurance
"The building blocks of meditation are relaxation and concentration. If you cannot relax, you cannot meditate. If you cannot concentrate, you cannot meditate. No exceptions."
Concentration
"It is not lack of ability, but lack of motivation, lack of focus, and lack of self - confidence that prevents most aspiring authors from finishing what they started."
