Quotes From John R. Miles “Everyone is waiting for you to win, even those who don’t know you, but it all starts with you wanting yourself to win.” "If you are not fulfilled in what you are doing, there is no way that you are living to your full capability." "When you think about that story, and where you are in your life, and you're performing it day in and day out. Are you happy about where you are? Do you feel fulfilled? Are you living at your full capability? Are you living the life that you want to live?" "But I can tell you; I'm doing this today because I made a choice in my own life that I wasn't going to let the disabilities that impact me define who I am and the path I want to take in my own life."
