Through the harsh design of fate Florida was dealt the unfortunate circumstances of bearing the brunt of not one but two hurricanes and it appears more dark clouds are poised to visit the Sunshine State.

I am lucky to have had an attentive curious and loving dad and heart-smart down-to-earth gifted mother. They changed the outlooks of their own lives and have never forgotten the people and organizations that helped them dream bigger than their circumstances should have allowed.

To act coolly intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.

Instead of focusing on that circumstances that you cannot change - focus strongly and powerfully on the circumstances that you can.

Whether you're winning or losing it is important to always be yourself. You can't change because of the circumstances around you.

You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.
