The situations that have been the biggest wins for me have been because I was forced to think differently.

Your big picture will never be a masterpiece if you ignore the tiny brushstrokes. You're trying so hard to be successful that true success is eluding you.

The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose. Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.

And that destination for which we should strive is one of a successful life not necessarily a life of success.

WHAT a person thinks is determined by HOW a person thinks.

What I'm doing when I'm doing my speaking engagements is that I'm delivering serious material with humor. So, instead of delivering humor without a particular point other than to entertain people, I'm delivering comedy in a serious way.

See, the ‘small stuff’ is what makes up the larger picture of our lives. Many people are like you, young man. But their perspective is distorted. They ignore ‘small stuff,’ claiming to have an eye on the bigger picture, never understanding that the bigger picture is composed of nothing more than-are you ready?- ‘small stuff’.
