"When a team is in possession of the ball, but cannot advance its agenda any further, they have to 'drop back and punt.' Doing this requires that they step back to regroup, reassess, and reorganize their strategy in pursuit of winning the game.

Rather than settling back into old habits and doing what you've always done, create something fresh, new, and awesome."

Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him loose them all."

"The road forgets. Make your life a journey, keep moving toward what you want, leave behind anything that's too heavy to carry."

"Men who've made choices always feel they own their destiny. Few ever think to ask who shaped and offered up those choices. Who dangles the carrot they think they've chosen to follow."
