“Life goes by while you’re chasing things, Kalista. All the forks in the road . . . You’ll never be at that same place again. Stop. Look. Think. Choose your path. Choose your people. Hang on to what makes you laugh, what makes your heart good. Let the rest go by the wayside and move on without wondering what anybody else will think. I need you to know that you’ve lived up to every hope I ever had for you and more. Being your dad has been the joy of my life.”
― Lisa Wingate, The Last Father-Daughter Dance

“Truth: People will have negative opinions about you no matter what you do. It will happen. Let Them. You can’t control it. Allowing someone else’s opinion to distract or consume you is a waste of your time and energy.”
― Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory

“By learning to focus on what you can control—your thoughts, your actions, your energy, your healing—you unlock the power to change not only yourself but the world around you. It all starts with you. That’s how much power you have.”
― Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory

“You have to have something on the line, for it to be called character.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere
