Figure out why you're there...

You will fail sometimes, not because you planned to, but simply because you are human. Take ownership for where you are. Move forward with a spirit of optimism. -Les Brown

In the present...

See things in the present, even if they are in the future. - Larry Ellison

Come back to a place of peace...

Don't live worried, frustrated or upset because of what somebody did or what didn't work out. Come back to a place of peace. It's not going to work against you; it's going to work for you. - Joel Osteen
