What I'm doing when I'm doing my speaking engagements is that I'm delivering serious material with humor. So, instead of delivering humor without a particular point other than to entertain people, I'm delivering comedy in a serious way.

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.

Then the old man's face hardened. What about you young man? he asked flatly. Would you like to get what you deserve? Jones let that question hang in the air for a moment, then sighed, shook his head, and said Me? I surely don't want what I deserve. I'm hoping for mercy, not justice.

Even in the worst time of life, if you are still breathing, that means you are still alive. If you are still here, you haven't accomplished what is still to be accomplished. The most important part of your life is still ahead of you.
Andy Andrews
If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs. If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights.

Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. Failures make their decisions slowly and change their minds quickly.
Andy Andrews
Everybody wants to make a difference, but nobody wants to be different. And you simply cannot have one without the other.
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

Jesus is Jesus. So, I'm not sure I'd get into the business of making somebody into Jesus. That's just me.
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.
Andy Andrews
Poor is the man whose future depends on the opinions and permission of others. Remember this, if you are afraid of criticism, you will die doing nothing!

I'm not saying don't do the work you got, but instead of this two hours of watching TV at the hotel lobby or this three hours of sitting under the pier and reading comic books or worrying about what you're doing ... what value do you have? Can you read? There are people out there who can't read - go read to them.
Andy Andrews
People tend to read books about a guy who goes back in time or a guy who is living under a pier.

When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.
Andy Andrews
I start every day making sure I'm where I need to be and thinking like I need to think.
Andy Andrews
In desperate times, much more than anything else, folks need perspective. For perspective brings calm. Calm leads to clear thinking. Clear thinking yields new ideas. And ideas produce the bloom...of an answer. Keep your head and heart clear. Perspective can just as easily be lost as it can be found.
