“Habits can be changed. Character cannot.
You can train yourself to wake up early, eat healthy, or quit smoking — but an evil heart stays evil. A cheating, lying person will always be just that.
The biggest mistake people make is thinking they can change someone’s character. They confuse habits with character.
One is behavior. The other is the soul”

“With the odds of winning the lottery standing at 1 in 292 million, it’s astonishing to think that nearly 70% of those winners lose their fortunes within a few years. Yet, the odds of being born—a staggering 1 in 400 trillion—make your life the greatest lottery win of all. Unlike those who squander their winnings, don’t waste this once-in-a-universe chance. Embrace every moment, cherish every opportunity, and live fully, because while the odds of dying someday are 100% , the true magic lies in how we choose to spend the time in between.”

“As the years go by, I see my youth slip away
And with each passing day, I can't help but to dismay
At the choices that I've made and the paths that I've trod
And the things that I regret, the mistakes that I've not
For with age comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes regret
For all the things I could have done, but never quite did yet
And all the things I should have said, but held back in fear
And all the chances that I missed, year after year
But though the wrinkles on my face may tell a different tale
I know that it's not too late, for life is not a jail
And though I may be getting old, I still have time to start
To make new choices, take new paths, and heal a broken heart
So here I stand, at the crossroads once again
With time and choices stretching out before me like a pen
And though the road ahead may be long and winding still
I'll make the most of every day, and savor every thrill
For I may be getting old, but I am not yet done
And though I may have regrets, I'll rise above, and won.”
