Holding on to painful images of the past in order to avoid painful experiences in the future serves only to color the present with pain.

Never make your highest purpose, or the most important thing in your life something that is outside of your control.

Our success and happiness depends not on simply knowing where we stand, but in where we are wanting to go.

Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense ... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others.

To influence others, we must know what is influencing them... and they must know that we get it.

To truly be of service to others, we must first serve the server. The ability to bring an enlightened presence to those in need is the ability to light a candle without burning ourselves out.

Remembering the past should help you create a purposeful future, not cause you to be afraid of it.
