Quotes by Kris Rafferty (?)

“You can be the person who puts the 'kick me' sign on the back, or be the person that watches it happen and does nothing, or you can be the person who takes the sign off.

That's it. Every day, every moment of your life, you're making this choice. Life doesn't stop for it, challenges don't make way for it, the choice is there and you own it. Welcome to adulting.”
― Kris Rafferty

“Most people spend their lives vulnerable, relying on the rest of the world to not take advantage of it.”
― Kris Rafferty

“Never fails. Every new book I write seems impossible, writes like I'm typing from dictation, edits like I didn't write it, and finishes like I couldn't possibly have written it.”
― Kris Rafferty
