Keith Barry Quotes

When you're in a situation, you can complain about it, you can feel sorry for yourself, you can do a lot of things. But how are you gonna make the situation better?

In my life, I don't have roadblocks and obstacles. I might have something you would call a 'challenge.' I throw that out the window, and I call that a wonderful opportunity.

When things go wrong or don't turn out the way you pictured them in your head, you just have to go with the best intentions defense. I have a lot of good intentions.

Sometimes you have got to look at things really positively - without putting your head in the sand, you have got to manage the negatives and keep putting a positive slant on it, keep trying to find answers.

The cynic says, 'One man can't do anything.' I say, 'Only one man can do anything.'

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Do not Blame the world. Find a solution.

There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.

You focus on the things that you can control, and that's what I'm doing.

You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I'm going to be my best right now. That's what faith is all about.

I don't harp on the negative because if you do, then there's no progression. There's no forward movement. You got to always look on the bright side of things, and we are in control. Like, you have control over the choices you make.

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

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

How do you come back? It's one step at a time. I'm optimistic because I don't know what else to be.
