“Do we not see the influence we have when we say we believe in one thing, but our children see us living something else? Do we not realize how little we encourage our children to actually decide what they believe, declare what they believe, and then live by it? Whether it’s religion, politics, sports, or societal norms. It is not our place to tell our kids what to think. It is our place to teach our kids to think correctly. If we do this, we need have no fear of what they will decide for themselves and how strongly they’ll stand behind it. A man will follow his own convictions to his death, but he’ll only follow another man’s convictions until he steps in manure.”

“If I could give one message to the bullies, it would be this: You are incredible. You are bound for great things. You have the potential to be anybody you want to be. There are people who believe in you. There are people who love you. Be what we know you can be, even if you don’t believe in yourself right now.”
Dan Pearce“I promise you it doesn’t matter what you believe, how strongly you live your beliefs, or how true your beliefs are. Somebody else, somewhere, thinks you are in the wrong. Somebody else, somewhere, thinks your beliefs are senseless or illogical. Somebody else, somewhere, thinks you have it all wrong. In fact, there are a lot of people in this world who do.”
Dan Pearce“What haunts me far more than anything I’ve ever done are the things I haven’t done.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“Be a little less obsessed with how I live my life and a little more obsessed with how you live your own.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“Think about the word mould for a moment. A mould is a device into which one crams and smashes something until it becomes the shape that they desire. Don't spend your life letting other people destroy you while they try and force you into their moulds.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“I do not see the point in dressing and acting and speaking in a way that makes you feel more comfortable and me feel less comfortable.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“Nobody on Earth can tell you how you should live your life. Nobody with any real authority anyway.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“I have learned that trying to control other people’s opinions of you is the fastest possible route to unhappiness.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“Don’t judge me for escaping the stresses and cruelty of the world differently than you do.”
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing“So many people hate me and love me for the exact same reasons. This is all the proof I need that my opinion about myself is the only opinion I should ever care about.”
