More quotes by Peter McWilliams
Prison is a crash course in the darker side of life. Few survive it without becoming a different person: more cynical, jaded, fearful, angry. Its hard to trust again, hard to believe, easy to hate a system that destroyed your life behind the pompous pretense of saving you from yourself, for your own good.

Peter McWilliams
The simple solution for disappointment depression Get up and get moving. Physically move. Do. Act. Get going.

In order to truly master the comfort zone, we must learn to love it.
Peter McWilliams
To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.
Peter McWilliams
No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it.
Peter McWilliams
Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.
Peter McWilliams
Laughter is essential to our equilibrium, to our well-being, to our aliveness. If we're not well, laughter helps us get well. If we are well, laughter helps us stay that way.
Peter McWilliams
Because people are afraid of fear, they give up acre after acre of their own life.
Peter McWilliams
Heroes became heroes flaws and all gives us hope. You mean I don't have to be perfect to fulfill my Dream, to make a contribution? Hardly. It takes commitment, courage, and passion to live a dream and make a contribution. Heroes had these qualities along with their flaws.
Peter McWilliams
