When I had a mental breakdown I was 26 and the most important thing before that was my work. And I still adore it. But it was all that mattered and everything else was secondary: my relationship, my family, my own health.
You just have to keep in mind that the important relationship is the relationship with the audience. That's what I try to do. Everything else is secondary.
For me, being appreciated by the audience is the most important thing, everything else is secondary.
Life is very short. You have to know what is the single most important thing in your life; stay focused on the mission; everything else is secondary. Don't wait too long for the perfect condition to appear before taking action - there is no such thing as the ideal situation. You create the opportunity and make the most of the talent God has given you. At the end of your life, you want to look back and say, "It's been all worthwhile. I have tried my best."
Most of my life is over. I am going to enjoy my family and friends before any of us depart this earth. I'll never start another company. I'll never work long hours again. At this point in my life, I only answer to God, my wife, and my kids. Everything else is secondary - especially the expectations of strangers.
I think the most important thing in life is self-love, because if you don't have self-love, and respect for everything about your own body, your own soul, your own capsule, then how can you have an authentic relationship with anyone else?
There is no health without mental health; mental health is too important to be left to the professionals alone, and mental health is everyone's business.
Family is the most important thing in the world. If everything ended tomorrow and my family was still there, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Mental health can be just as important as physical health - and major depression is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental illnesses.
Mental strength is not the same as mental health. Just like someone with diabetes could still be physically strong, someone with depression can still be mentally strong. Many people with mental health issues are incredibly mentally strong. Anyone can make choices to build mental strength, regardless of whether they have a mental health issue.
My family is the most important thing in the world to me, too, before anything else.
My family is definitely the most important thing for me, before anything. Basketball, everything.
The single most important thing in my life is God. The second most important thing in my life is my family and the third thing is the great profession that I chose. I chose to do something that I love. I never had to work a day in my life.
For me, it's always been about the work - it wasn't about, 'Let's go break some ceilings.' I just wanted to tell an important story and do the best work I can. Everything else is secondary.
Humor is the most important thing in life. It trumps everything else and it's the only thing that helps me deal with everything else.
Humor is the most important thing in life. It trumps everything else, and it's the only thing that helps me deal with everything else.
It's pretty easy for me to say that the most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, followed by my relationship with family. And football's later on down the line.
