'Confusion is the last stop on the way to clarity,' he told me. 'The part of your mind that thinks it knows it all is butting up against a bigger idea. It's only a matter of time until the smaller thought gives way to the greater. Don't fight it. Just try to enjoy the ride.'

The road to enlightenment is paved with authenticity, not imitation.

All limits exist only in thought, and that is where they are overcome.

Your brilliance comes from your spirit. To deny it is arrogance. To accept it is humility.
