1. You are the only person who can bring yourself happiness
You can’t do it alone: no boyfriend, girlfriend, job, money, or material possessions. Happiness is what you create within yourself.
2. It is inevitable that you will experience pain in your life.
Sometimes, I wonder if this is a requirement of living… that each of us must experience some kind of pain. You can ask for help when it is needed because people are more understanding than you might expect.
When someone comes to your aid because of their pain, be kind and listen. You will find that you are stronger and wiser for having overcome your pain. Looking back, you will be grateful for the lessons you have learned.

Don’t be afraid of pursuing your dreams. It’s possible to achieve… more than you can ever imagine. It all depends on you and how much it is important to you.
Favorite Quotes From Brendan Schaub
I always wondered, like, you know how you go to the family barbecue, and your uncle is that funny guy that you laugh at because he’s family? That’s how I felt with ‘Fighter and the Kid.’ People would laugh at my stuff, but it was always tough for me to tell. I just needed to see if there was something going on.
In comedy, when you bomb, especially at The Comedy Store in front of a sold-out house? I think it would have been way worse if I bombed there than losing a UFC fight.
