Choice means giving up something you want for something else you want more.

It may be true that the unexamined life is not worth living-but neither is the unlived life worth examining.

As poet-philosopher Rabindranath Tagore reminds us, "We cannot cross the sea merely by staring at the water." Simplicity has power. And living on purpose comes to this: Just do it. How much simpler can we get?

Personal and collective awakening are one and the same - when a raindrop joins the sea, the sea also merges with the raindrop.

Stay present. You'll always have time to worry later on if you want to.

When we know deep down that we're acting with integrity despite impulses to do otherwise, we feel gates of higher energy and inspiration open inside of us.

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.
