Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of personal empowerment and autonomy. It suggests that by taking ownership of one's life, there is no longer a need to seek validation or approval from others. Seeking permission or approval from others allows them to potentially dictate and control one's choices and decisions. Instead, by taking charge and making independent choices, an individual is not giving others the power to influence or veto their personal path. It encourages individuals to trust their own judgments and have the confidence to take control of their lives on their own terms.

Most prayers are not really questions...and if we listen very closely, a prayer is often its own answer. ...We pray because we are here - not to change the world, but to change ourselves. Because it is when we change ourselves...that the world is changed.

To me, we must learn to spell the word RESPECT. We must respect the rights and properties of our fellowman. And then learn to play the game of life, as well as the game of athletics, according to the rules of society. If you can take that and put it into practice in the community in which you live, then, to me you have won the greatest championship.
