I know for certain that God does not make mistakes, but he does make miracles. I am one. You are, too.

Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place. It's the high-anxiety zone, but it's also where you discover who you are.
Interpretation
Risk is an essential component of living, where personal growth and self-discovery occur.
This quote underscores the idea that risk is integral to the human experience. It suggests that true life happens outside of our comfort zones, in that challenging space between where we feel safe and where we dare to dream. Embracing risk not only allows us to pursue our aspirations but also leads to profound self-discovery and personal growth.

At my funeral, if one said, 'Nick was a generous person,' trust me I won't be doing cartwheels in my coffin. Recognition from people is never and never will be a goal. Some people strive for that respect or honor. Living a life to just reach for the position and status is vanity and sin.
Question not, but live and labour Till yon goal be won, Helping every feeble neighbor, Seeking help from none; Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.
I've had a very full life, and I've enjoyed it very much. I've learned a great deal and feel indebted to all the people who have worked so hard.
I've had good times on drugs...bad times on drugs...But I've had good and bad relationships...and I'm not giving up pussy.
Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I've devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.
Randy [Rhoads] was laid to rest at a place called Mountain View Cemetery, where his grandparents were buried. I made a vow there and then to honour his death every year by sending flowers. Unlike most of my vows, I kept it. But I’ve never been back to his graveside. I’d like to go there again one day, before I finally join him on the other side.
Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
