As long as we define stress as how some person or situation is making us feel, we will have to change the world around us to find peace of mind.

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

The key to changing our past, present, and future is to create our piece of the PIE (our Perceptions, Interpretations, & Expectations) on purpose.

We can't always choose how we feel. We can, however, choose what we do about it, which ironically can change how we feel!

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.

Realistic optimism allows us to experience the best until we have to deal with the worst ... which often, never comes.

Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives... but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can 'color' (change) how we see our present and future.
