And the second [thing about the CBS EVENING NEWS that stands out in the mind of Michael J. Fox] was something Katie did later in the interview, as the drugs kicked in and the tremors segued into the jerkiness of dyskinesias.

With no fuss and hardly a break in conversation or eye contact, she calmly leaned over and refastened it.

PASSIONS FUEL LIFE! -FRB

Let me tell you something you already know. Life isn't complicated. Life doesn't suck. You need to change your priorities over time and stay ridiculously focused on your goals. That's how you get it. That's how you win.

Your priorities determine your happiness — place them in order and act on them.

Real happiness comes from inside yourself, not external factors.

People only know what you say “Yes” to – they don’t see all the activities you declined, and the tough choices you made.

Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.

All significant relationships have a price. It’s not that relationships are a sacrifice. After all, who wants a life of sacrifice? It is more a matter of priorities. We can’t do everything in life and we can’t be with everyone in life. In choosing what we will do and with whom, we automatically make priorities. If something is at the top of our list then other things have to come second or third or last.

If people cheat, it's because something other than the relationship is more important to them. It may be power over others. It may be validation through sex. It may be giving in to their own impulses.
