Zitat des Tages von Paul Henderson:
Contentment does not come from achievement.
The Lord expects us to enjoy our lives. He says there will be some brutal times, but we shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it.
When you have cancer, you can define the trivial from the important very quickly.
I thought happiness came from achievement.
Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord.
I didn't handle fame very well at first. I got a little resentful.
When fairy tales are written in the west, they're known as folklore. In the east, fairy tales are called religions.
After I started to understand the spiritual dimension of life, I understood the responsibilities you have as a husband, a father, a friend and a hockey player.
I just refuse to worry or get upset or be fearful. It doesn't do one particle of good.
There is no wrinkle-free life.
The Bible says not to worry so I don't. I just get up in the morning and ask God for help to get through the day. If tomorrow shows up then I'll take the same shot tomorrow.
I'm a very, very proud Canadian, and having the privilege to represent my country on the international level was the highlight of my 18-year career.
We grew up very poor, and I hated being poor. I was the oldest of five kids, and I never got a pair of skates until I was nine. It was very difficult to get an education back then and play junior hockey.
My philosophy, don't let cancer ruin your life. You get up every day and use what you have and what time you have left.
I get as much fan mail today and sign as many autographs as I did when I played. It's mind-boggling to a certain degree.
I think having the cancer allowed me to be able to freely talk about my faith.
