Until a person takes responsibility for where he is, there is no basis for moving on. The bad news is that the past was in your hands, but the good news is that the future, my friend, is also in your hands.

More quotes by Andy Andrews
I just think it’s amazing that a person could lose everything, chasing nothing.
Andy Andrews
Seek wisdom. Wisdom waits to be gathered. She cannot be bartered or sold. She is a fight for the diligent. And only the diligent will find her. The lazy man - the stupid man - never even looks. Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. Seek wisdom. Find her, and you will find success and contentment.
Andy Andrews
When people have something proven to them, and they see that it really benefits them, they don't have to be looking for a change or be at rock bottom. When they see something proven that is of benefit to them, they'll turn around 180 degrees and never look back.

We begin to forgive by choosing to forgive . . . by deciding, not by feeling. Our feelings don't lead us to forgive. Most times, our feelings lead us the other way. That's why a person has to decide to forgive first. Our feelings always follow along behind our decisions.

When you don't know what to do, do something. I know you don't know what to do and I know you can't do everything right now, but you can do something.

When I was 19 years old, both of my parents died in the same year my mom of cancer and my dad in a car accident. Through the next two or three years and a series of bad decisions - all my own, I might add - I ended up literally homeless, before that was even a word. I even slept occasionally under a pier on the Gulf Coast.

I started finding humor in everything. I used to watch a lot of TV, and I finally figured I didn't need to watch TV to find funny stuff. I just watch the commercials. I mean, the commercials just blew my mind.
Andy Andrews
In the game of life, nothing is less important than the score at halftime.
Andy Andrews
My life - my personality, my habits, even my speech - is a combination of the books I choose to read, the people I choose to listen to, and the thoughts I choose to tolerate in my mind
Andy Andrews
I think a lot of what is involved in finding a noticer is to watch people and see what fruit people have on the tree. You examine that life and see if it has the kind of fruit you want to produce in your life.
Andy Andrews
We all can think of at least one kid who had great parents, a great family, and an all-around great childhood...who suddenly went crazy as soon as he left the house for college or adulthood. And nobody can figure out how or why it happened!
Andy Andrews
You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.
Andy Andrews
Every man of character will have that character questioned. Every man of honor and courage will be faced with unjust criticism, but never forget that unjust criticism has no impact whatsoever upon the truth. And the only sure way to avoid criticism is to do nothing and be nothing.
Andy Andrews
It is not enough to recognize what is right and true. One must control the impulse to do what is wrong and easy.
Andy Andrews
Ask yourself this question everyday: What is it about me that other people would change if they could?
Andy Andrews
Whatever you focus upon, increases.

Times of calamity and distress have always been producers of the greatest men. The hardest steel is produced from the hottest fire the brightest star shreds the darkest night.
Andy Andrews
Everybody wants to reach the top of the mountain, but there is no growth at the peak. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life's next peak.
Andy Andrews
It's a lot more interesting to learn and discover real-life principles when they are revealed in the form of a story.
Andy Andrews
Jesus is Jesus. So, I'm not sure I'd get into the business of making somebody into Jesus. That's just me.
