Justin asked Richelle E. Goodrich:

Can you share any precepts/maxims that help you be the person you'd like to be?

Richelle E. Goodrich Thank you for this question, Justin. It made me pause for a time to reflect on the precepts that drive my decisions and my actions, ultimately molding me into the person I want to be. After a great deal of honest pondering, I believe I hold tenaciously to the following precepts or maxims:

- Most are unaware of their tremendous worth and potential, despite possessing both.
- We never think lightly of those who walk with us on our uphill days.
- Closed eyes see the rarest, truest beauty.
- Those who treasure the dream more than the costs of sacrifice will persist with a goal.
- It is by getting selfishly caught up in the search for happiness that one finds misery.
- The only ship you can truly steer is the one you’re sailing.
- Those anchored in life hold tight to God’s hand.
- To believe in oneself is to light a spark with the potential to start a fire.
- We are intimidated by what seems ominous because we fail to see how the BiG is only an accumulation of many smalls.
- There are tomorrows on their way worth the struggles of today.
- It is in the pursuit of dreams we thrive.
- One cannot experience cloud-nine days without leaving rock-bottom moments below.
- Life’s champions accumulate teammates, not opponents.
- Most people don't accept that they are an influence either improving or damaging others.
- One man can be deliriously happy in the exact situation that causes another man to wither from depression.
