Life is a labor pain; we are here to give birth to ourself.

If you watch how nature deals with adversity, continually renewing itself, you can't help but learn.

If God came in and said, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, what would you do?

When you love the unlovable and forgive the unforgivable, you’re free.

You can see people draw the past, present and future as well as dream about it. You go to bed at night and have a dream that says there's a lump in your right breast and the doctor who is foreign, with an accent tells you it's cancer.

Every day is my best day...I'm not going to have this moment again.

Do not go looking for problems to feed your soul. Just let life be your teacher. It will nourish you with its inevitable difficulties. How will you know whether you are letting life teach you and nourish you? If your physical senses become more sensitive to the beauty you see, the words of love you hear, and the life you feel touching your body and soul, then you know you have discovered the great value of misfortune.
